The terminal at Cork Airport has been festooned with red and white bunting, flags and red uplighting with the asset care, maintenance and electrical teams investing considerable time during the week to decorate the terminal building and arrange for the outside of the building to be lit red in the evenings.

A spokesperson for Cork Airport said they were sending the very best wishes to Cork captain Seán O’Donoghue, the entire Cork senior hurling panel, Cork manager Pat Ryan and his backroom team, on their quest to bring Liam MacCarthy back to Cork after a 19-year absence.

For passengers travelling this Sunday who may want to watch the All-Ireland Hurling Final, the Craft Lane Bar & Restaurant in departures will be showing the game live, as will other large televisions in both the departures and arrivals areas.

Niall MacCarthy, Managing Director at Cork Airport said, “Our airport employees experienced huge challenges today with the worldwide systems outage, but they smiled on through.

Management and staff from the various departments at Cork Airport donned their Cork jerseys today.
