While we're veering off aviation issues here, I suspect that if the government has wiggle room, it will either invest in infrastructure or protect welfare payments. Any tax cuts will be saved for 2015 to induce a feelgood factor in advance of the next election. Tax cuts produce a poll boost for about 6 months, but infrastructure sees returns over a longer period.
That said, any infrastructure will be incredibly targeted and the only priority in the Cork area (at the risk of TTT's blood pressure) will be the Cork-Limerick road, so we can put aside any thoughts of money being spent on taxiways.
