Continue to dodge the question haha pathetic! You do know the organisational structure at Cork? Cork is barely responsible for financial matters it basically lies with the DAA - The CAA were briefed on a new terminal by their heads in Dublin and you really believe they would object to such a new face at the airport? These were there bosses telling them we were getting a new terminal covered by the state which they have since refused to pay for so you tell me a company which would object to such a proposal.
That hare doesn't run.

Idea that bosses come down from Dublin and said we will build you a new terminal and spend hundreds of millions, there is no real plan and you don't have to do anything. Cork bosses never said anything about the runway needing an extension for T/A flights..................
Dublin Inept meet Cork Inept.

So the fact Cork handled the highest amount of Eastern Europe passengers in 2012 (yet to be declared for 2013) fully support that ludicrous statement.
The decline at Cork was due to the collapse in Domestic travel and reduction in UK flights - Europe has continued to grow although at a much lower pace than pre-2008.
Ireland's CSO says very differently then again Irish airports may be a bit weak on numbers.
Dublin had 626,000 pax v Cork 215,000 pax in 2012 travelling to or from these airports.

Katowice (KTW),Poland Vilnius (VNO),Lithuania Gdansk (GDN),Poland Wroclaw (WRO),Poland Poznan Lawica (POZ),Poland Warsaw - Modlin Mazovia (WMI), Poland Warsaw - Frederic Chopin (WAW),Poland Krakow (KRK),Poland
I excluded the other places in Eastern Europe flown to from Dublin so its a fair comparison.
