All winter long in my childhood, our three lake boats lay like part of the furniture of the yard — upturned shapes against the shed wall, collecting frost and leaves, holding their silence. They were parts of our livelihood in those lean mean seventies, though as children we thought of them as playthings. From October to February they hibernated, dripping dry after months of wave and rain, their floorboards stacked indoors nearby, their oars resting like folded arms. I often imagined them talking to one another in the dark — trading stories of sudden squalls, of rocks struck in shallow bays, of whispered confidences between gillie and angler, of trout that flashed silver in the half-light before lying still on the ribs beneath the boards.

There is something quietly reassuring about Ireland West Airport Knock. For all its growth, its international reach and its record-breaking numbers, it remains an airport that feels human in scale and familiar in spirit. It is a place where journeys begin without stress, where arrivals are met with relief rather than exhaustion, and where the act of travel still carries a sense of possibility. As the airport celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, that balance between success and simplicity has never been more important.
