Maybe it's time that the Government came off the fence in relation to Cork. We've now had five consecutive years of decline here. Its route incentive scheme which we all know operates under the close supervision of the DAA is clearly not producing results.
Not one new route has been announced for 2014 up to the time of writing despite the abolition of the travel tax. Standard excuses about the recession are wearing thin as growth has returned at Dublin and Shannon the latter almost certainly to the fact that management there have been freed from the DAA.
