Airport to set aside booze-free zone for rugby fans

CORK Airport has set aside a dedicated booze-free zone especially for Munster rugby fans flying out to Cardiff next Saturday.

Airport managers said the measure was one of a number of steps being taken to avoid a scrum of Heineken Cup final passengers on what is expected to be one of the airport’s busiest days.

Up to 3,000 rugby fans are expected to descend on the airport from early morning next Saturday.
