flag Ireland to get €45M for airport upgrades, new Dublin-Derry flight in 2026, but funding fairness and sustainability remain concerns.

flag Ireland West and Donegal airports will receive €45 million over four years for infrastructure, safety, and sustainability upgrades, with a new daily Dublin-Derry flight launching later in 2026 under public service obligation. flag The funding aims to boost regional connectivity, but concerns persist over equitable distribution, particularly regarding Donegal’s Carrickfin Airport and Kerry Airport’s long-term viability. flag Kerry’s current funding model is deemed unsustainable, with MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú warning of a €360 billion European airport investment gap by 2040 and calling for greater government support and EU-wide security standardization.
