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.
Right so those good people just sat there and never said a thing and waited for DAA to just spend €200..............right
As for getting to 5 million....................no chance in next 25 years.
Growing economy and influx of east Europeans helped that number, it was a one off and not to be repeated.
Cork
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.
One off levels of growth that couldn't last yet spend €1 Billion when Gatwick sold for £1,5 Billion. Project team saw that one coming.
