On Friday night after the CC 767 diverted to S_hannon from Cork without attempting an approach the plan was to bus all 311 pax up to E_INN for their flight to Lourdes. However, the fly in the ointment was that there were not any buses available for the task mainly because of the Robbie Williams concert at the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Then on Saturday afternoon at Cork when the weather was fine again there was an announcement made to the LDE pax saying it was being considered once again of bussing thrm to E_INN! At this point the scene became near riotous but happily soon after the now rested 767 and crew eventually made it in to Cork and the pax at last left for their pilgrimage to Lourdes at 1545 hours after the aircraft being on the ground at the remotest stand for 2 hours, 45 minutes even though there were plenty of closer stands available. A very long walk from the Cork terminal to the aircraft for the unfortunate pax. Imagine if it had been raining! Aer Rianta, who do Cork pax have to put up with this bull5h!t?
