Cork traffic
Cork traffic down by 17% for 1st two months of 2011. This is a continuation of the double digit decline that began at the end of 2009 and has been a feature of almost every month since.
If this trend continues then Cork will go from a record 3.25m in 2008 to below 2m in 2011 a figure not seen since 2003. While all of the media attention has been on the disastrous fall in traffic at Shannon, Cork's performance is also a cause for serious concern particularly as Dublin appears to have turned the corner.
