Please let me remind you that ROI is paying back anything we have recieved with interest!! You lot make out as if we are getting free money. It by no means free. We also pay a commitment fee to the UK for the loan we have recieved from them. You would want to do your research mate, before you go around making loose statements like that!
The fact of the matter is N.I is a part of the UK, you can't pick and chose the bits that you like and the bits you don't, why shouldn't people in N.I not have to pay the same taxes on flights as every other British citizen? Most flights out of N.I are to the UK and bucket and spade routes anyway, besides the "prized" CO flight. If they want to fly out of BFS, they can pay the premium for it, otherwise DUB/NOC is just down the road.
