Ms Rose Hynes:

I completely agree with the Senator that Shannon Airport is absolutely vital. Connectivity is vital. It is vital to have an additional connection. We have a connection with Heathrow Airport at the moment. The question of Brexit comes into play in that context. We have worked for quite some time to try to achieve connectivity with locations like Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Paris. That takes time, effort and funding. Our submission is still before the Department. That is the update. We are still waiting. We have lobbied hard.
