message: An anonymous editor has changed the destinations at Cork and Waterford airports to include the country of destination beside each.  Since the vast majority of such airports are wikied I feel this is excessive and bloats the article. What do others think? Dowlingm 20:12, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The official Irish Government authority for Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports is the Dublin Airport Authority.
The official website is www.dublinairportauthority.com/media-centre/annual-report/2005. 
Page 76 of the annual report shows passenger total passenger traffic for 2005 as Dublin 18,450,439, Shannon 3,302,424 and Cork 2,729,906.  
This means Dublin is 1st, Shannon is 2nd and Cork is 3rd busiest airport in the Republic of Ireland.BIARRITZ 20:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But as is stated below, the Shannon figure includes passengers who never leave the aircraft. Shannon's figure is lower if these passengers aren't included. Should someone travelling from Dublin to Boston be included in Shannon's figures if they never leave the plane?57.80.136.6 12:13, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It depends on your definition of Ireland and whether you count transit passengers who don't leave the aircraft at Shannon. Any idea how these should be treated?Irlchrism 09:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Just wanted to add this statement from the Shannon website to inform further "Well over half a million passengers who travel through Shannon do so as transit passengers, breaking their journey at Shannon while traveling between Europe and North America.".Irlchrism 10:07, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You need to use primary sources and reference any claim. Belfast is Northern Ireland, and part of the UK so should not be counted as a Republic of Ireland airport. What is the Irish equivalent of the CAA - do they publish statistics? Because if you don't do this it's original research... Thanks/wangi 10:20, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Irish Aviation Authority don't publish statistics in the manner the CAA do. However, the claim can be backed up using data obtained from the airports themselves. On the Cork Airport Website Figures Page, it states that the number who used Cork Airport was in excess of 2.729 million passengers. On the equivalent page for Shannon, we can see that the total number less transit passengers is 2,627,583. Irlchrism 18:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I realise that Cork is nominally a Ryanair "base" but is it really accurate to say "It acts as a main European hub for both Ryanair and Aer Lingus"? From Cork Ryanair serves only Dublin, Liverpool, Gatwick and Stansted. Cork appears to be by far the smallest of Ryanair's official "bases" in Europe and to call it a "main European hub" for the airline seems a bit of a stretch. Ecozeppelin 10:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this section really necessary?? It basically just seems to cover anything that is already covered in the destinations section, or else mentions terminated routes. Viewing the wiki pages of almost any other airport, it's easy to see that terminated destinations should not be included on the page. Someone should improve this section, or else I think it shold be removed. Dennisc24 (talk) 21:47, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Recently Kavs8 changed the picture at the top of this article. Personally, I think the previous picture was best. As it showed the airport at night, lit up and with an Irish plane in the distance... The new picture is at dusk, it looks to have rained, its got a Wizz Air plane that dominates the picture, and it is a personal opinion of myself that it is rather dreary! I didn't want to revert the picture without discussion. But I would prefer if it was. Any thoughts out there? --NorthernCounties (talk) 08:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that I probably prefer the first one too actually. The Wizz Air picture could be used further down the page, and the old picture is better to put the top of the article. --Footyfanatic3000 (talk  ·  contribs)

message: Having seen the Frankfurt route added to Aer Lingus list earlier in the month, I started checking the airline's website regularly, but the route still has not shown up there. Wondering why this was, I contacted the airport directly to verify if in fact the route is going ahead and (regrettably) got the following reply:
"Thanks you for your feedback. While there would be market demand for a direct Cork-Frankfurt service, no Airline has yet made a commercial decision to operate such a service. While we have presented the strongest possible business case to the relevant Airlines, any decision would be for 2012 at the earliest."
Maybe there is something that I haven't heard of myself. Maybe it is something that the airport and Aer Lingus are keeping under wraps until such a time as they can confirm the route, or maybe it's not happening at all. As such, I feel it would be appropriate to remove this from the destinations section for the time being. Number10a (talk) 10:48, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the "bus schedule" table is problematic in terms of the "Wikipedia is not a guide book" guidelines? To my understanding of the guidelines, having what amounts to a bus schedule is not in keeping with the project tenets. It's hardly encyclopedic. A brief detail on the operators might be appropriate, but listing each bus number, the route and the stops is overkill for an article about the airport. This content is better suited to WikiVoyage (or the Airport website itself). Wikipedia isn't the place for it. (IMO) Guliolopez (talk) 16:39, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi. In recent days a number of edits have sought to add 2013 passenger numbers. But have not supported with reliable or valid cites. When the DAA or Cork Airport publish official 2013 numbers (or they are otherwise made available via the press or other reliable sources), then we can add them. Until that time, the numbers that are being added don't meet the WP:VER and WP:RELY guidelines. (For example, in this edit, numbers for all of 2013 were added - but the cite link references a press release from JANUARY 2013. In January 2013, there were no "cyrstalball" numbers available for the rest of the year, and even if the airport PR people had made a forecast in January, that forecast is NOT in that cite. Similarly, in this edit 2013 PAX numbers were "supported" with a link to a Tweet. Not only is Twitter very suspect under the WP:RELY guidelines, but the Tweet didn't even include the 2.3 million number which was added). Anyway, seriously lads, while these numbers might be valid, until they are actually published in reliable and verifiable sources, these additions are not inline with guidelines. It is better to have "older" confirmed numbers, than to have "newer" suspect ones. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 22:48, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi. One editor (), and an anon (from DIT) have suggested that the IAA Commercial Movements tables (dated December 2016) indicate that there were 19,149 aircraft movements in 2016 (increasing from 18,141 in 2015). However, when I look at the table (recreated below), while I can see  number for 2015, the number I see for 2016 is . I do not see the proposed number (19,149) anywhere in the table or elsewhere on the page/ref provided for aircraft movement stats. Where (either in this table or elsewhere) is the stat that other editors are proposing to use? Guliolopez (talk) 17:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. So, in this edit the anon DIT editor points to another IAA table which gives different numbers. However, what we have therefore is two DIAA sources which conflict with each other. This one (a graphic/image) which assigns the (18,141 for 2015 and 20,147 for 2016) to Shannon, and this one (a HTML table) which assigns the same numbers to Cork. In honesty, unless we can clarify which of the two are correct, it might be best to remove entirely. Guliolopez (talk) 17:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: (Personally I think that the HTML/Table is correct. And the image/graphic incorrect. My main reason for suggesting this is that all the older reports and metrics (like this graphic) give the 2015 number as . Guliolopez (talk) 17:25, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

text: I'm fairly sure the source table you linked is correct. I checked to make sure the YoY change statistics are correct and they are so they're more than likely the correct figures. VG31 16:21, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movement numbers 2015-2016 

message: An IP anon (Messagelabs) recently added some content which is problematic relative to the guidelines on WP:PROMO, WP:PEACOCK and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. A(nother?) editor later restored it. Problematic content included an unattributed/uncited assertion that the airport is "known as the international gateway to the South of Ireland", that it "offers passengers the opportunity to fly to 50+ global destinations", that handlers "operate efficiently and effectively at the airport", that it "is renowned as one of Europe’s best training airports with every conceivable flight training aid available". While a handful of (semi-related) websites are offered to support (some) of these promotional claims, a majority (including the advertising wording about "every conceivable flight training aid available") are primary sources or otherwise problematic relative to WP:RS. That a commercial entity uses wording in its promotional material doesn't make it true, reliable or appropriate for inclusion. I am removing this stuff. Again. And would welcome input (from the "anon" or other users) on what aspects of the proposed text can perhaps be tempered or improved - to align with this project's standards. A large chunk of it however cannot remain in its current form. Guliolopez (talk) 11:16, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
