Ms Mary Considine:

We have significant infrastructure already in place in Shannon. We are the transatlantic gateway to the Wild Atlantic Way so Shannon is already the airport on the west coast serving the US. We have a number of operators which, prior to the pandemic, would have used Shannon to facilitate both cargo and passenger services. I assume that what the Deputy is referring to is the question of what opportunities we have to grow that. We are in a very difficult place now. We are focused very much on survival, then recovery and rebuilding after the pandemic. We will be looking at all opportunities to expand both our services and our cargo operations in Shannon.
