2013 Annual Accounts of Shannon Free Airport Development Company

Mr. Ray O'Driscoll:

Let us focus on that initially. We are currently evaluating all the properties on site there. As I said, some require demolishment and we have identified those. We have sought planning permission and it has been received for the first block and we will start that process in December. We will go down through the other blocks in due course. Our goal here is to commence redevelopment in the zone. This is not something that will happen overnight; it will be sustainable growth. We will build new facilities there that are yet to be determined. We will engage with organisations like the IDA and Enterprise Ireland to identify what is appropriate. We want to enable employment in the area. We will build the property structures there to enable that. That is very much our focus and in particular in the Shannon area.
