@joedotie: “I hope the department of transport doesn’t find out” 😂 James Horan, a parish priest from Co. Mayo recognised that Knock needed an international airport and decided to get to work on it 🙌 The poor transport links to Mayo were affecting tourism to Knock Shrine and thanks to James, in 1986, Knock Airport opened ✈️ #ireland #dublin #irish
such an Irish thing 😭😭😭 " we building an airport, don't tell the DoT cause we don't have permission" 👏👏👏👏😂😂😂

Opened in 1986 and they still charge a €10 "development fee" from every single passenger flying out. All that money since 1986, I want a waterside taking me to my gate by now.
