Fuck off. Seriously just fuck off. The west has as much right to infrastructure as anywhere else.

Don't disagree it's just there's a perfectly good airport in Shannon.
A airport built to service a fucking religious shrine does not strike me as necessary infrastructure.
Next you'll be telling me Lowrys casino with replica White House is a good idea.

Yeah it's Ireland's 4th busiest airport. Shannon airport handled three times that volume and it's closer to Galway city than Knock.
You're the one who compared that boondoggle to the DART.

Or I could give a flying fuck about the correct spelling Catholic hierarchy titles.
Cos you're sooooooooooooooo right on.
Shannon is over two hours by car from Knock. In the 80's this would have been nearer to 4 hours.
But sure what would those Boggers be wanting with an airport anyway?
e2a: What do you want an airport in Birmingham for? There's a perfectly good one in that London.

Knock has a population of 2,000.

That's completely crazy given that there were no AAA transfers to anyone. Ruth Coppinger took the second seat but didn't reach the quota. Every AAA vote was used up on the AAA candidate. Even if every single AAA voter had Donnelly number 2, he would have got zero transfers. It's also completely crazy in the sense that the AAA said nothing at all about transfers to anyone anyway.
Donnelly lost to Burton because his campaign was complacent and didn't get all of their vote out. There was a widely publicised constituency poll during the campaign, which showed Coppinger edging out Burton for the last seat with Donnelly romping home. The bookies had him 100/1 on to take a seat. The poll had the effect of galvanising support for Coppinger and Burton, with it looking like a straight choice between the two. Meanwhile it looked like SF had a seat in the bag and it was taken for granted. The Donnelly camp are now extremely sulky but they only have themselves to blame.
And is an ideal location for an airport serving everywhere within an hour / hour and a half's drive.
What is the population of, say, Stanstead or Gatwick? As opposed to the large geographical areas they actually serve?

This is fucking hilarious a three man pile. On claiming that
Knock is a hub for fucking anywhere.
The decision to put an airport there had nothing to do with religion.
And getting told off for slightly misremembering the name and rank of the priest who campaigned for the airport.
So.
10.23pm Casually Red PM's me 'Pint?'
11.30 I see it and think why not.
11.32 approach pub and meet Cr outside smoking and smiling all over his face. He tells me he popped into the other pub in the village to buy fags and on the way in sees £20 on the ground outside and picks it up. He gets his fags and leaves immediately... only to find a further £20 and a tenner near where he picked up the first... and strolls to the decent pub a happy man.
I smile, go in and order a pint.
I am in the pub for one hour. Casually newly-minted makes no attempt to even buy me a pint. Spose he's saving it to buy a nice cravat and smoking jacket.
Casually tight-arsed's behaviour seems somewhat typical of those trendy-lefties he claims to be so different from.

"Knock is a hub for fucking anywhere." It clearly is. As even a cursory glance at a map would inform you. If you had any intention whatsoever of allowing facts to inform your preconceptions that is.
The N17 is the main north/south route for the west/north west of Ireland. I suppose if culchies want infrastructure they should move to Dublin? You knob.
"The decision to put an airport there had nothing to do with religion." Nobody claimed that. You knob.

That's an awful lot of 'Pilgrims' - mostly heading off for a weekend/week on the piss either back home or in sunnier climes.
"And getting told off for slightly misremembering the name and rank of the priest who campaigned for the airport" You are being 'told off' for being a lazy, arrogant, prejudiced, Dublin-centric gobshite who couldn't even bother to google. Loike who cares what the fockin bogger was actually called... he was a bogger for fock's sake. You knob.

Oh yeah, know what he does. He sits with his back to me in deep convo with one of his new mates. As soon as his " new " mate leaves I sit beside him. I make the " wot you having " face, and immediately he sticks his hand over his pint. Shrieking " no more for me young man...I'm a laaady don't you know...a laaady..I couldn't possibly...at this outrageous hour of the night....oooooh nooo...I'm a laaady .....don't be getting me inebriated....I couldn't possibly.....whoooh nonono " .
And then he fucks off.
He tries to give this impression as if he has to get home otherwise " er indoors " . Which is bollocks . The lady in question is an absolute angel, sounder than a million pounds . But no, he gets under pressure and tries to pretend its Norah batty waiting for him with sleeves rolled up and a rolling pin.... with big nails in it . Typical lightweight making excuses . He'll probably join the Clapton ultras just to look hard .
The Kant .

From the cut of your posts, I take it Mr Smirnoff overtook Mr Erdinger in your affections after I left?
As for my beloved wife, she is currently making her way home from Mayo (some 150 miles away) which does somewhat undermine your contrived confabulation. My reason for leaving was a simple one. I'm just back from walking to the top of Sliabh Gullion on an absolutely glorious spring day with some of the kids. The sun is so strong and bright it may even penetrate through the darkness of the curtains on your man-cave.
I hope it's glare and heat bring you considerable discomfort as you nurse your poorly head.

Just a cursory glance at population statistics for regions in Ireland would say that it would be closer to travel to Knock airport for about 800,000 Irish people than it is to go to Shannon, Cork or Dublin and I don't know of any other major airports in the West/North West region. Most others are small ones with small runways although I'm willing to be corrected on that one.
Anyway back to the elections this is certainly going to be a FF/FG coalition. Martin might even be Taoiseach seems we have a short memory.
