Would be nice to see a link to show who paid for those flights GCUFD!
Oh, it would. It would be nice to see an article that just set out the facts of the matter. Instead, I'm afraid, we're just going to see the same distorted account repeated in newspaper articles about Shannon. For instance

Shannon has exceeded expectations to record a profit
Friday, February 14, 2014
The airport was formally separated from the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) to go it alone in January of last year and recorded a marginal increase in passenger numbers to 1.4m in its first year after five years of passenger decline.
In Shannon yesterday, Shannon Group chairwoman Rose Hynes confirmed she presented a “report card” to Mr Varadkar on the airport’s first year performance that showed that the airport recording a small profit. <...>
And this is the problem. If we know the passenger numbers are questionable, it makes you wonder if this "report card" is another bit of spin.
But they're grand, no-one's going to probe their statements.
