Good and bad news

CORK Airport’s new terminal building is up and running, and it is a delightful example of modern architecture.

Pity, though, that the financial battle with the Dublin Airport Authority continues after a series of broken promises from the Government!. Pity, too, that some of the commercial units have decided to make a real killing on costs.

In the Red Bar, on the upper floor, you pay €4.10 for a pint of Beamish (it’s more for Guinness), and the astronomical €4.80 for a shot of either Paddy or Power whiskey.
