It's time we got real on sustainable regional planning in this country, we simply don't have the critical mass to support an airport in every county, and our politicians need to be honest with the people and make the hard decisions that will benefit us in the long term. We should focus on growing one strong western airport, and Ireland West Airport already has the infrastructure and services to provide growing sustainable international air access into the western region. I think any remaining development money should go into providing improved roads and public transport there. Strandhill might be better off focusing on the private aviation market where it could have a more certain future.
