		Horan presided over a major rebuilding of the site, with the provision of a new massive Basilica (the first in Ireland) alongside the old church, which could no longer cope with visitor numbers.
		The project was condemned by critics in the media and the opposition, one of whom spoke of building the airport of a "foggy, boggy hillside".
		Contrary to the critics' expectation however, Knock Airport (now known as Horan International Airport after the late Monsignor who founded it) became a commercial success, drawing not just pilgrims as passengers but also becoming the air-gateway for the entire Connacht region.

	Seanad Éireann - Volume 115 - 21 January, 1987 - Adjournment Matter: Horan International Airport.
		However, I prefer to see in the Horan International Airport the symbolism of lighting a candle and a ray of hope for an area which has been, for far too long, economically depressed with little hope of leadership and little guidance, the area which I represent, County Mayo, on the perimeter of the European Community.
		The airport is a mere 30 miles from Ballina, 30 miles from Castlebar, 30 miles from Carrick-on-Shannon, 30 miles from Sligo, 45 miles from Galway and 35 miles from Roscommon.
		If the airport at Knock had been planned in a way that it was located in a place [2034] which would cost less and was of a smaller scale to start off with, but with potential for expansion later on, the project would have got unanimous support from the people to begin with.

		Knock Airport consists of a mile and a half of prime Jumbo-proof tarmac cut into a bog on the top of a hill in County Mayo, together with a simple terminal building, a control tower, a fire engine and a car park.
		James Horan was a remarkable individual, 'a doer in a land of nay-sayers' as one of his obituaries described him.
		He argued that smaller airports were for wealthy people, whereas regional and international airports enabled large passenger jets to carry ordinary people at lower rates, more frequently and over longer distances.

		Total cargo throughput at the three airports in the State for 1998 was 191,505 tonnes, an increase of 12.5% over 1997.
		The parties further submitted that, notwithstanding the exclusive nature of the arrangement, there would be no restriction or distortion of competition, since the airport did not have either the space capacity or the traffic density to support an additional provider of these services at present, and since there was sufficient competition available from other airports.
		The airport is then under an obligation to ensure that there are no fewer than two service providers for each category of ground handling service.

	Sunday Tribune report on Claremorris and the WRC

		Still, while the creation of the Airport solved one access issue for the area in the last century, another pressing issue is coming under scrutiny in the new millennium.
		The Airport has seen significant growth over recent years, with 150,000 travellers through it in 2001, 250,000 in 2003 and 450,000 predicted for this year.

	History of Mayo on the west coast of Ireland
		Almost half of what were termed 'agrarian outrages' (maiming of cattle, destruction of property, wounding and even killing of land agents, landlords, and those who were considered 'land grabbers') in the early 1880s occurred in Mayo, Kerry and west Galway.
		At the same time, Mayo attracted international attention, and in the process gave a new word to the English language, by initiating a rather novel form of non-violent protest.
		The campaign against the 'Boycott Relief Expedition' was orchestrated by Father John O'Malley, parish priest of Kilmolara (resident in the Neale), and it was he who suggested the term 'boycotting' as being easier for his parishioners to pronounce that 'ostracisation'.
