Guys,

You might want to relax a bit about the Bus Eireann situation at Cork Airport

There are 53 departures a day, 39 into the city and 14 to Kinsale.

Now that's not to say it couldn't be improved.

The buses could be more evenly spread. In particular, there's a weird gap in the timetable between 21:30 and 23:00 (when I've often wanted a bus) where they end up just missing the passengers from 2 737s, 1 A320 and an ATR72.

They could also consider extending some city services, like the number 6 which goes to Grange to the Airport to cater for people who aren't city centre bound; maybe running some buses from West Cork through the airport or continuing some buses from North and East of Cork up to the airport after they arrive in the city. But all in all, the service isn't the worst.

You can add to that 6 Citylink services and 27 Skylink services daily, so that's a total of 86 departures daily from Cork Airport. Not that far behind Shannon.
