Roy Keane among the arrivals at Cork Airport as Christmas homecomings spark joyous scenes

There were tears of joy in Arrivals — and Cork Airport will greet about 164,000 passengers between now and Little Christmas on January 6

Joyful screams and very happy tears greeted people arriving home for Christmas into Cork Airport this afternoon.  

One of Cork’s most famous sons, Roy Keane, flew in from Manchester, but catching glimpses of celebrities was of no interest to those in arrivals, who only wanted to see their loved ones walk through the glass security doors.
