Its only a matter of time before there is a Waterford-London route again.
Don`t think the South East region is doing too badly with the Waterford airport runway extension albeit a very modest one. Should be at least 6,000ft to cater for 737/A320 jets.
There is currently no prospects of runway extensions in Cork or a new parallel runway in Dublin.
The SE also has 2 motorway projects at the tendering stage, the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway and the New Ross bypass.
The most neglected part of the country is the northwest!!
