I can't see Ireland benefitting greatly from inward tourist spending on flights to SNN from Alicante, Carcassonne, Faro, Girona, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Malaga, Murcia, Nantes, Palma, Tenerife and Venice. I suspect also that flights from Krakow, Lodz and Wroclaw attract relatively few high-spending Polish tourists visiting Ireland although this may help lower employment costs for local companies.

Beyond flights from SNN to the UK, Paris, Brussels and Dusseldorf, I struggle to understand the likely economic benefits to spending in Ireland by tourists

Perhaps time for Govt or quasi-Govt to decide that encouraging local residents to spend their money locally rather than outside Ireland would be a good thing ? [Otherwise known as calling MOL's bluff]
