I think it improved considerably as the evening wore on. I know the dilemma that airlines face when dealing with the vagaries of the Cork Weather. In general Aerlingus which is the biggest user of the airport tend to adopt a wait and see approach and it generally pays off. It also calls into question the purpose of 25/07 and its usefulness at this stage. It's too short for all operators apart from Aer Arann and they only use it when the weather is good. Hard to believe that it was used almost as often as 17 during good weather in the 1960's.
