A group of Independent TDs from across the West of Ireland have issued a joint statement calling on Government to ensure connectivity from North America and Heathrow to Shannon Airport, and to implement fully the recommendations of the Aviation Recovery Taskforce in support of economic recovery across the region.
Chambers representing businesses that directly support over 100,000 jobs across the Mid-Wet and West have united in one voice in a submission to government for supports to help Shannon Airport navigate the current crisis and establish a new model for aviation in Ireland.
Clare Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley says the Government should consider a road map for the reopening of the aviation sector as Ryanair bases in Shannon and Cork are under threat.
Ryanair is threatening to closes its bases at Shannon and Cork unless the Government relaxes its quarantine restrictions on passengers flying into Ireland.
