Up to 200 stranded passengers stayed the night in Cork Airport last night, writes Eoin English. The Civil Defence provided camp beds for those who spent the night sleeping in the terminal building. But airport management were making efforts last night to source transport for some into the city in the hope that they could secure hotel accommodation. Some of the affected passengers were left stranded at the airport following flight cancellations yesterday, the withdrawal of public bus services in the city, and the inability of taxis to reach the airport given the treacherous road conditions. Airport management have advised all intending passengers to check with their airlines before heading to the airport today.
