Mr. Michael O'Leary:

What Cork and Shannon can do best is be very competitive and have lower access costs than Dublin Airport. Cork has been held back for a number of years. To be fair, current management has changed that, but Cork published charges which were exactly the same as Dublin. If Cork Airport charges the same as Dublin Airport, the airlines and passengers will go to Dublin. Cork must be materially cheaper than Dublin. It has infrastructure and a labour market that allows it to be cheaper and the charges need to be lower at both Cork and Shannon. That is the only way forward.
