"Pity he wasn't asked about SNN-DUB being axed and why Ryanair are deserting the people of the mid-west by talking away their link to the nations capital."
Why? Has he stopped the trains and buses and demolished the N7?

Belfast international is currently the 2nd busiest airport in Ireland but it's only a matter of time before it will be eclipsed by Cork with its growth rates over the last decade to be the nation's second busiest.
Look at the populations of Munster and Ulster. Munster has 1.1 million people. Ulster has 2 million (1.7 million of whom are in Northern Ireland). Munster has two medium-sized airports (Cork & Shannon) and two small (Kerry and Waterford). Ulster has two medium-sized (Belfast International and Belfast City) and one small (City of Derry) and a tiny one in Carrickfinn. Considering the populations served, the only way BFS could be smaller than ORK is if it lost a load of passengers to BHD, but then BHD would end up taking the title of second biggest.

Shannon
I always thought yhis forum was for people interested in aviation so why has it degenerated into a political debate as to GB and UK status.
Shannon is and always has been a good staging point (like PIK) for North Atlantic Traffic. The place to watch for this is now Leipzig which is attracting most if not all of the fuel stop traffic for the US military which has been staging thru SNN and in previous times PIK. This could ultimately cause the demise of SNN.
