I WAS saddened by the news that Cork’s airline connections to Warsaw — the capital of central Europe’s largest country and the world’s number two for foreign industrial investment — are being terminated by Aer Lingus and Central Wings.

MY wife seems by mischance to have stumbled across a new stealth tax scam operating in Cork city.

RETURNING to Cork Airport this week was a salutary shock. The new terminal may have some impressive architectural elements but one cannot help wondering whether the authorities got it badly wrong.

A SIGN of the times... Cork County Council has commenced work on a project on the outskirts of Midleton to build a pedestrian bridge (that mimics the Sydney harbour bridge) over the Owenacurra river, south of the Midleton bypass.
