Shrinking Ireland?
Yes agree the motorway opening has made use of Dublin airport so much easier to travel quickly to for folk in 'Norn Iron' and I'm sure has helped tourism in general on the Island of Ireland.
The absence of UK/APD and provision of U.S. Pre-clearance certainly promotes Dublin as a very attractive departure choice across the Island.
On the subject of choice we have appreciated the services provided by Aer Lingus ex Georgie Best Airport let's hope they are left in place by Big Airways.
