....when all Irish people had to worry about was a spot of potato blight and a few million dying of starvation. How lucky we were. The coffin ships to America were as nothing compared to the horror of the Gatwick Express. As a keen investigative journalist I have uncovered the awful truth that it takes a full 30 minutes to travel into the centre of London at a staggering cost of £15.
No wonder that a survey by the Irish Examiner showed that 90% of the Irish public were outraged at the Aer Lingus decision, with 87% demanding a change of heart from Aer Lingus and public anger at the way the airline has “betrayed” Shannon means that 59% say they are now less likely to fly with it as a result of the row.
