At last Waterford have gotten a new ILS. They're taking the old one offline next week to install the new one. Great to see it! Any word of going CAT II

In other news, I hear that the new Waterford city bypass and new Bridge have been opened this week. Great news for residents of Kilkenny, Tipp, Wexford and even Carlow travelling to the airport.

RTE news :

The Waterford city by-pass has been officially opened three-and-a-half years after work started and ten months ahead of schedule.

The bypass includes a 465m cable-stayed bridge over the River Suir. The as yet unnamed bridge is the longest in the State.

The road has been described as the most important infrastructural development in Waterford in living memory. It is estimated that the cost of design, construction and operating the by-pass is in excess of €500m.
