Ireland West Airport

Let's do 1981, because I could see there's a lot of stuff in 1981.

Ireland hosting the Eurovision and H Block and very sad stories with the Stardust, but you know, it's Knock Airport.

There was a lot going on.

DeLorean and Belfast.

Yeah

... which is close to Knock Airport.

But why isn't there a fuss? Nobody has s- saying, "Why don't we put a new, why don't we put-

Okay

Do we remember Monsignor James Horne? We do.

He was the man responsible for the building of Knock Airport.

Anyway, Monsignor James Horne, according to Eddie, was going...

Once he got the airport up and running, he had another project that he dearly wished to get stuck into.

But it's on the border of Luxembourg.

But this airport in Luxembourg, right, it's like, it'd be like Knock Airport or like Farranfore in Kerry, like a tiny little airport-

Mm

...

... for months, and he made a fortune.

And this is the same fella who built Knock Airport.

Oh, right.

There's a big statue of him outside Knock Airport welcoming everyone.

Okay.

So I think he was a bit of an entrepreneur, that fella.

It was one of the few games I attended earlier in the year, of course.

I was on that flight that flew out on the Saturday morning that the pilot went down and Lee Keegan ended up flying the plane, the Ryanair plane from Ireland West over to Stansted and just made it in time.

So it's very exciting.

They, of course, have a couple of other junkets lined up this winter as well.
