Looking at next week's Mayfly most mornings require five aircraft for the first group of departures before 0800 plus a DUB-based aircraft to operate the return Dublin flight.
On another subject, the local paper carried an article last week on the news that Thomson's B 787 will commence operations next year. Embedded in the article was this paragraph:
Last year the airport welcomed a record 6.7 million passengers through its doors. And if the predictions are right then that number will reach eight million in 2017.
I haven't read anywhere else about 8 million being reached by the end of 2017 and if that is to be achieved there will need to be some more routes and/or significant frequency increases on a number of existing routes.
