We reviewed the national development plan recently and, as a committee, we made a strong recommendation that there should be a rail spur to Shannon would benefit the region and the airport. Would Ms Embleton consider that such a move would give confidence to Shannon and the region and benefit the airport by improving access and passenger numbers with connectivity across Ireland to Shannon Airport? This would support the expansion of the airport or at least help to retain the current services.
