Last year you could have thrown a stone and hit any number of helicopters, you would have found it hard to find one yesterday. I believe 30 helicopters have booked in, ( I didn't think we had 30 left in the country) but then again there was no fee this year. Saying that Wednesday and Thursday should be good " I hope".... if not then the last one to leave please turn off the lights....its going to be a bad year.
As for road traffic there was none, our ground crews drove from the airport, passed the race course and into the city in 10 minutes yesterday. It was really sad to see, the Galway races were always a high light in the flying calendar in Ireland.
Sorry the hear you couldn't register, I'm a bit surprised really..
