Ryanair Grounds Dublin - Cork And Kerry Flights
Ryanair has announced that it is to cease operating flights from Dublin to Cork and Kerry.
Flights between Dublin and Kerry will end on September 7, while services between Dublin and Cork will end on October 30.
The airline has said that the decision was influenced by motorway improvements, which have reduced the time it takes to drive between Dublin and Cork to 2.5 hours, as well as the PSO route between Dublin and Kerry and "monopoly charges" at Dublin and Cork Airports.
However, Ryanair confirmed that All Ireland Football Final flights will operate on September 17, 18 and 19.
Any passengers who have booked to travel on these routes after their closure will receive a full refund.
A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "Ryanair regrets having to close our Dublin - Cork and Dublin - Kerry routes.
"However, passengers have been voting with their feet and switching to the convenience of driving 2.5 hours between Dublin and Cork.
"Meanwhile, since this Government clearly prefers to subsidise high fares with the awarding of yet another pointless PSO on the Dublin - Kerry route, Ryanair has been forced to close our unsubsidised low fare flights on this route, from September 7."
