And in regards to government and regional development, it'll never happen. In order to spend money you need money, and the Irish public expect all these infastructures and schemes to just appear without paying for it, so no political party will go for it.

In regards to Shannon, Berlin is a bad loss, I understand that it was a very good route for Ryanair with good onboard sales and yield in general. Pity to see it go.
Yes would agree with you although at time of announcement of SAS and Lufthansa did see a Facebook post on Shannon page by the ex CEO Neil pakey saying the services had almost Bernard secured in 2015 so not sure how much a role the new CEO played - apart from pakey senior management team seems to be the same however would agree with strategy over sustainable routes with legacy carriers rather than chasing a quick win but long term unsustainable growth with Ryanair hats off for that
