Jack, the Poland market at SNN is far from saturated. Only 2x weekly to Wroclaw at the moment. Good opportunity for SAA here.
Of course its Saturated. From Munster we Currently we have 24 weekly flights to Poland (Gdansk, Katowice, Krakow, Poznan, Warsaw-Modlin, Wroclaw) and 4 weekly flights to Lithuania (Vilnius). Although this will reduce slightly from January following Wizz' decision, the market is not large enough to support these flights. Shannon is about an 1hr and 30mins from Cork. fivejuliet if you look at the history of Shannon's routes to Poland and Lithuania the majority were all pulled before the decision to reduce services massively in 2008. The one's I can remember of the top of my head are Gdansk and Katowice from Shannon unable to compete with Wizz' services ex-Cork.
