IMHO : What difference in relation to tourism would Waterford Airport in Ireland have if the runway was extended - Steps Back Thru Time
An extension of the runway at Waterford Airport would significantly enhance its role in tourism for the South East region of Ireland. Currently, the runway is 1,433 meters long and 30 meters wide, whi...

Thank you to the Munster Express for highlighting my statement on Waterford Airport being just the tip of the iceberg!

A photo of an article in the Munster Express newspaper which reads: Waterford Airport 'tip of the iceberg' for under-investment in Waterford - General Election Candidate Killian Mangan Killian Mangan, who is running as a progressive independent candidate for Waterford in the upcoming general election, has today called Waterford Airport “just the tip of the iceberg, with countless other examples of underinvestment in our county hidden beneath the surface”. In his statement, Killian, who also ran in the recent local elections as a ‘voice for workers and carers’, called on other candidates in Waterford to ‘be more ambitious and to get serious’ on the systems which he believes cause Waterford to be left behind. “As Waterford Airport monopolises the conversation, our county continues to be left behind in countless other ways. The €12 million in public funding requested for the runway extension represents just 0.01% of the €115 billion spent by the State last year, and I hope that all candidates and all voters in Waterford ask themselves in the coming weeks: “is this really the height of our ambitions for our county?” he said. "Instead of following some other candidates who clamber to show the strongest support for the latest example of underinvestment in Waterford before managing our ambitions as a county post-election, I’d like to push for greater ambition for our county and region”. “One clear deficit in our infrastructure is that in Ireland, unique among our neighbours, we lack a rail line between our 5th and 2nd cities. Think of how transformative a direct Waterford-Cork train would be for the local communities of Tramore, Dungarvan, Youghal, and Midleton along a potential new coastal route. It could revolutionise our daily lives in a way that a small regional airport, which some of us may use a handful of times a year at best, could never do. I am calling for a review to be conducted immediately on potential routes, and for other candidates to come out in fav…

Statement on Waterford Airport:

Statement on Waterford Airport: Waterford Airport is just the tip of the iceberg, with countless other examples of underinvestment in our county hidden beneath the surface. It is time for all candidates in Waterford to be more ambitious and to get serious on the systems which cause Waterford to be left behind. As Waterford Airport monopolises the conversation, our county continues to be left behind in countless other ways. The €12 million in public funding requested for the runway extension represents just 0.1% of the €115 billion spent by the State last year, and I hope that all candidates and all voters in Waterford ask themselves in the coming weeks: “is this really the height of our ambitions for our county?” It might not feel like it when we look around at the state of our public services and infrastructure, but we live in one of the wealthiest countries per capita in the world. Instead of following some other candidates who clamber to show the strongest support for the latest specific example of underinvestment in Waterford before managing our ambitions as a county post-election, I’d like to push for greater ambition for our county and region. (1/3) Statement on Waterford Airport: One clear deficit in our infrastructure is that in Ireland, unique among our neighbours, we lack a rail line between our 5th and 2nd cities. Think of how transformative a direct Waterford-Cork train would be for the local communities of Tramore, Dungarvan, Youghal, and Midleton along a potential new coastal route. It could revolutionise our daily lives in a way that a small regional airport, which some of us may use a handful of times a year at best, could never do. I am calling for a review to be conducted immediately on potential routes, and for other candidates to come out in favour of this common sense policy; the recent All-Island Strategic Rail Review 2050 left a growing Waterford behind yet again, and we must come together as a community to push for more ambition. Ultimately, I don’t think our singular focus as a county should be on any specific project; we have for years attempted to send our politicians into government, or elect independent candidates to the Dáil in the hope of delivering a specific project, while our county and region continues to be forgotten about by Dublin overall. At best, we get a motorway to Dublin. Other times, we end up with major compromises such as a proposed Waterford University becoming a regional South East Technological University or a 24/7 cath lab promise becoming an 8am-8pm service. (2/3) Statement on Waterford Airport: Instead, I am proposing a radical new approach; to work with others across the country on an ambitious plan to transform the system into one which is more democratic, more decentralised, and more decarbonised. Instead of relying on powerless councillors to ask an unelected local government to follow our wishes as locals, we must demand the right to elect a local government accountable to us, a right which exists around the world. Instead of asking Dublin for funding for each specific project due to living in one of the most centralised countries in the OECD, we must demand a radical decentralisation of powers, responsibilities, and funding to local and regional levels, so that decisions are made by those more accountable to us in Waterford. Changing the system will empower all of us and finally allow Waterford to thrive. (3/3)
