That better be a ******* joke. The SNN-DUB route will be gone fairly soon, and besides jave you ever tried to connect at DUB? The lines are un real. The drive from the Shannon airport region takes about 3-4 hours. Driving to Cork takes about 2-3 hours.
My fathers company will very much affected by the loss of the route. My father and his collegues use the route every week to get to Amsterdam. His company has been down sizing its once large office at Shannon, in favour of Amsterdam. With Shannon losing its most vital link, people in the office are worried about it. No one fancies moving to Amsterdam, or losing their jobs. The likes of GECAS will also be very much affected. A lot of people and businesses will be hurt by this decision.

Notice how Aer Lingus are too cowardly to mention the dropping of the Shannon-Heathrow route.
