Mayfly - was interested to read your comments about operational support from 2014 onwards. I don't know much about this - would you be kind enough to point me to a good source of information on this, or perhaps explain some of the implications of this policy on Waterford and other Irish airports in the future ?
Waterford, Kerry, Knock and Donegal get operational support yearly which will be stopped next year however it will most likely change by then. This is seperate to the PSO routes from Dublin-Kerry/Donegal (also up in 2014).
There should be some infomation on Dep on Transport website.
