In an ideal world, Cork Airport should have been built at sea level somewhere to the North of the city to provide servides to everywhere and anywhere for all of Munster. Shannon airport should have been built 40 miles to the North Near Galway and would cater for Connaught/noth Munster etc and there would have been no need for the miracle in Knock or the present Galway airport as it stands. Unfortunately though this did not happen and we have to live with what is and what should never have been.
