And you blame the CAA for this because you think an incentive scheme that was setup for all airlines allowed Ryanair to step in and drive competition out of Cork? You don't think Ryanair would've undercut easyJet anyway as a way of defending its home market?
Precisely, Ryanair declared War basically on easyJet in 2005 launching near enough the same schedules and guaranteed to beat them on price. But yet I do blame the CAA if they had refused to offer the waved fee's and told FR if they wanted a new base they could but would pay full house price and if say they did and still drove easyJet out then that was fair competition albeit overkill at the same time.

Anyway - What has PAU airport have to do with Cork airport subsidies?
If you had a brain you'd realise I was refering to Brussels Charleroi.

The Cork airport subsidy scheme is a pubished document. Again, are you stating that Cork Airport had a secret subsidy only for Ryanair?
You really are fooled if you believe Ryanair gets the same subsidies as every other airline, they get zero fee's for x years and give agreements on x amount of traffic.
