A UI would relegate Cork to Ireland’s third city. It’ll be fourth long term most likely.

Aren’t Shannon independent from the DAA now?

Anyway Dublin airport is an abomination compared to Shannon

Oooohh, they won’t like that. Not one bit.

Its is. DAA owns Cork airport. Shannon is seperate. DAA happy to see the two regional airports die on the vine.

Corkonians wanted a flash terminal for free. Foggy Field Airport had been a strain on the daa’s Balance Sheet and Ireland generally. Build a high speed to Shannon and close it up at this stage.

Couldn’t they throw a few other high-speeds around while they are at it? After they get the card machines working obviously

If we’re waiting on building a high speed, Corkonians should still have the airport to 2070 at least.

Fine, we should just close it and forget about a rail link.

You put your head above the parapet with that one Tim!

Sun holidays.

Dripping in one’s own sweat in 34C heat, while not being able to sleep at night, is some people’s idea of a good time……

Why go to a hotel when you have use of an apartment for free……even with the air con I’m still dripping in sweat

I was the same and borderline snobby about them a few years ago but Tenerife has really grown on me lately. So convenient. Cheap food and beer, a lovely promenade to walk.

That said I am going hiking in rural China today

Sister was there ten years ago, said she saw people shitting and pissing on the street in broad daylight. I read yesterday China is now the most technologically advanced country on the planet. They’ve come a long way in that sense at least….

I never saw anything like that here.

It’s all QR codes. Everything is paid for with QR codes
