Concern over airport future
07 December 2010
| Shannon
Concern has been raised following the statement from the chairman of the board controlling Shannon airport. While the overall message of higher passenger volumes is positive there was very little details in how this would be achieved. Local businesses around Clare and Limerick involved in the Give Shannon Wings campaign spoke openly that the figure of 2.5 million passengers travelling through Shannon by 2015 is all very good but the plan is in the detail. They insist that there is very little tourism around the area at the moment and this is due to the lack of travellers arriving through Shannon.
