Limerick is the city that is adjacent to Shannon Airport along with Galway. There is a rail link from Limerick to Galway but it bypasses Shannon Airport so we are looking for a spur to come from the airport on to the existing rail line to improve connectivity to the airport. That is the context. That proposal has been put forward by many of us in the region. I am based in Limerick city. It is in that context. When Covid restrictions are fully lifted, we very much look forward to welcoming Ms Embleton to Shannon Airport to see what a phenomenal facility it is for the region. That is the context.
