The Ryanair boss has dismissed suggestions by the Junior Transport Minister to locate planes in Cork in the wake of the passenger cap at Dublin Airport
The airline has repeated its' call for the Government to step in and scrap the 32 million passenger limit.
Junior Minister James Lawless said there is no cap at Cork and Ryanair should explore increasing connections out of Cork, Shannon and Knock
However Ryanair's Michael O'Leary dismissed the proposal
"Minister Lawless came up with some idea asking why don't you just send these additional flights to Cork and Shannon? Well, because sixty percent of the traffic is inbound, and it doesn't want to go to Shannon and Cork, it wants to go to Dublin. And the Lapland Christmas flights, the kids don't want to go to Cork and Shannon, they want to go to Lapland. The Christmas extra coming in from London and het UK, don't want to go to Cork and Shannon to go home to Dublin"
