It might work out for the best in the short-term
Have to say i fully agree with 840, even though i would love the day ORK is fully released from the hands of the DAA debt-free
. But i was delighted to read within the Booz & co. report that greater autonomy is needed at ORK which hopefully will suffice when the MoT presents the report to Dáil Eireann.
On another note, Ryanair have just updated their booking engine for Cork and re-added ALC, BOD, CCF, LRH, REU for Su12 along with the new additions of PMI, PSA plus existing service to ACE, AGP, FAO, FUE, LGW, LPA, LPL, STN, TFS. Only two routes not re-appearing DUB (was axed) and surprisingly no BGY even though loads where good on the route last Summer although there's plenty of time to re-add it, i remember it being announced last January anyway. Wonder if there is any more Ryanair routes on the way? hopefully there is, and hopefully a route which will attract inbound tourism.
