"More than half a million Northern Ireland residents used Dublin Airport last year, a 15 per cent increase on 2011, according to new figures from the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) The growth in northern business was far in excess of the average at Dublin Airport in 2012, as total passenger numbers at the airport increased by 2 per cent to 19.1 million last year. “Dublin Airport’s business from Northern Ireland is booming,” said DAA Public Affairs Director, Paul O’Kane. “Last year 521,000 Northern Ireland passengers travelled through Dublin Airport, which is equivalent to almost 30 per cent of the population of the North.” |
Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I think there's little point arguing, lower taxes attract people who are in a position to take advantage of them. That's missing the point though. First off, the GuessNP wants a currency union with the UK, which would require a high degree of tax harmonisation. Their two policies may well be in conflict. Second of all, tax cuts in one area have to be balanced by tax rises elsewhere. Given the number of free sweeties the GuessNP has been promising to dish out in the event of a vote for Dalriada, there is a massive tax bombshell hiding somewhere in the detail.

"London Heathrow was the most popular destination for Northern Ireland passengers using Dublin Airport last year" Heathrow is served by Belfast / Northern Irish airports. My point, which I'm sure you understood, is that a reduced tax will encourage people to use certain airports where the saving is an option. Dublin airport figues as per the link confirm that fact. Walsh would appear to agree and corroborate that and he is after all, in this context, better qualified and placed to do so than you or I. ---------- Post added at 18:03 ---------- Previous post was at 17:43 ---------- Quote:

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Mr A, I agree - but my decision to use an airport is usually where can I fly to, not will I save £10 or so (especially if I have to travel for two hours to get to the airport, rather than 30 minutes)...

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Good first link, from a reasonably impartial source.
Not so keen on your perhaps less so second link, from Robin McAlpine, who was one of the closing speakers at the Radical Independence Conference in November 2013. |
Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
I can't get my head around the fact that Britain is in support of the Ukranian demand for Independence yet seek tae deny Scotland the same.
