Just to add my pennyworth to this thread - which is rapidly going tangential - the local council has only closed St Angelo (Enniskillen Intl) as a licensed airfield - still open if you don't need the piece of paper, no sig of turning it into a karting track!. The council ( obviously not in step with the rest of the local councils in the UK ) said that, while it's not economically viable at the moment, it can see a future for it in about 10 yrs time. Hence the decision to keep it under care and maintainance but stop shelling out cash for the licence and facilities needed for this magic bit of paper. Still, the way things are going it won't be our problem in 10 yrs, they'll be applying to the Dail in Dublin for permission to open the field again.........
