TENS of thousands of words have been published by this newspaper about the difficulties facing Cork Airport. 

Thankfully, those words have had a longed-for air of optimism in recent months, especially since Norwegian Air International (NAI) proposed a transatlantic service from the facility.

Unfortunately, yesterday’s NAI announcement, explaining that they have deferred the May launch date, because of bureaucratic stonewalling on the far side of the Atlantic, may dent that positivity.
