This is the same Dr Barrett who 20 years ago, when Knock airport opened, rubbished its existance.
Was it he who described it as a useless bit of concrete built on a foggy boggy hill - or words to that effect.
Knock Airport is paying for itself and is of immense value to the pople of West and North West Connacht. Dr Sean Barrett has been proven wrong yet again -no surprise there.
Frankly Dr Barrett is an academic who has proven to be wrong time and time again in his pronouncements on transport matters in Ireland during the last 20 plus years.
I wish the media would treat him with the contempt he deserves - ignore him.
Let all of us ignore him from now on.
