Cork airport spent €200 million and on what ?

Marseille built a terminal for €10 Million.

Cork was never going to reach 5 million passengers and any claim it was pretty much shows someone has been availing of the local dark liquids.

Irelands sad financial collapse was not a shock, You can't really have an economy where reliant on building and selling new houses ad infinitum and that was just for their tax revenue.
Stop dodging the question I've asked you idiot, you're ignoring a false statement you have made and are now deferring the question.

First off:

Cork Airport did not spend €200m the DAA did.

Your statement re: 5m passengers, total bull yet again. Cork Airport will reach 5m passengers in the future years ahead it jumped from 1.3m pax in 1998 to 3.3m in 10 years. 5m was most definitely achievable.

Your final statement, has nothing to do with the DAA the gov's tax revenues were irrelevant to them as it would be with any company, The DAA has unforeseen levels of growth at Dublin (particularly) and Cork (Shannon had begun to decline around 2008) and promptly began to plan for increased capacity at all 3 airports - yet if they had you working with them (thank god not) we would have been sensible and planned to avoid a economic collapse being one of the few companies in this world to have such brains.

God you really are an annoying guy.
