Is it not somewhat absurd that we need to fully expand Dublin in order to take in more passengers, yet without putting an extra brick or piece of steel or glass in place in Shannon, Shannon could double its passenger count? It is already configured for that. Is that not wasteful and unsustainable? Could Ryanair play a role in providing new routes in and out of Shannon?
