its about 15km to the airport..but yeah 15-20 minutes drive max. I drive it everyday.
840 - Thats my point on the regional airports like Galway/Waterford etc getting millions. There is no major need for them and the money is being granted on political grounds rather than any real need for development of so many regional airports who have relatively poor facilities as they stand. (Martin Cullen giving waterford 27 million just before he lost his ministerial post a prime example imo..Waterford is not far from Cork or Dublin for that matter either). Galway for example is an hour from SNN. It can take longer to get from Dublin City centre to DUB airport at times.
A good overall aviation policy would be a lot more beneficial to Ireland as a whole and to me that would mean devloping airports like Cork and Shannon aznd even Knock rather than every airstrip in the place.
