Dublin-SFO route is a natural, airline's CEO says; Aer Lingus starts with 4 weekly flights between IT centers of U.S. and Europe

Q:Does change threaten Ireland?

A: There would be a view that with economic growth and prosperity there comes a certain sophistication which some might say is the antithesis of traditional Ireland, Irish values. I think Ireland is a society in transition and one of the challenges facing Ireland is to take advantage of what economic prosperity can bring, but be very careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater and lose that unique personal touch that prevails.
