Occasionally, when we travel to Spain we travel via the UK. Usually, this ties in with price, shuttle times, journey times. More often we would travel directly to Spain. 

Considerably, fewer people from the UK use Ireland as a hub in travelling to Spain. I think a good consequence of the recent trade negotiations we will have much more people from the UK using Irish airports. I suggest anybody say travelling with one stop before arriving in Spain consider a route ...

...via ROI. 

Be warned though, our airports have food every bit as "not good" as Alicante and Almeria airports - but the nearby hotels (usually within walking distance of the terminal) serve excellent food and probably cheaper than you expect. And . . . . . . . . . you may pay a little more to use Aer Lingus, but it's worth every penny and you won't be badgered to buy Ryanair unwinnable lottery tickets . . . . ..  Looking forward to seeing you.

Congratulations Matthew - the first advantage of Brexit.

Just a thought- who do you think will suffer more From the consequences of Brexit ‘the man in the street’ or the crowd in the house of commons who lied their way to persuading the British Public to vote to leave Europe?

My "socialist" hat on (noting like a Panama Hat!):-  It doesn't take a genius to know that the first casualty of any government economic shift is the poor. The rich couldn't give a whit; they don't lose. In fact, they'll use the poor for the aims of the rich. Worse again, the poor walk into this kind of shit storm with their hands in their pockets.

The full truth is the other casualty and that has been beaten long ago.

The E.U. paid €13.50 per dose of the Pfizer vaccine while the UK paid €23.00 per dose is being discussed on Irish radio at the moment. Are the amounts correct? Anybody have a link?

Having originally lived in the North of England but having lived in the Republic of Ireland for the last 25 years, I still have Facebook friends from Yorkshire. 80% of those blame the EU for almost everything that has ever happened and many, though not born then, feels Europe owes them a permanent debt of gratitude for World War 2.

They voted leave principally because of immigration into the UK, what they haven't realised is that this 'immigration'  has actually increased in the last couple of years and generally still comes from outside of the UK from the 'Good Old British Empire'. They also fail to grasp that most of this is legal immigration and class all as refugees/asylum seekers.

So the perceived advantage is reduction in immigration - lets see how that goes :)

Good to see the Oxford vaccine becoming available. But (always a but, but not too much of a but), it's cheaper, less effective than Pfizer's and can be stored in warmer temperatures. Things already looking up for 2021.

What a lot of pathetic whingers. There will be a boon in uk trade. And the poor will always be poor. It is what it is.

Get on with your lives.
