It would at least be a start with the perfect aircraft for transatlantic services from Cork.
Given the population of the Cork metropolitan area vastly exceeds the Limerick/Shannon region, it`s inevitable that some airline, hopefully Aer Lingus will launch a transatlantic service from Cork in the future.
I don`t buy that a transatlantic service from Cork would undermine Shannon as the road network between Cork and Dublin airport is vastly superior than it is to Shannon.
