Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:
They would need an office and secretarial support. For me, the kind of secretarial support that would be great to get would be a young girl, boy or man who has come out of college and is eager to learn about the aviation industry. They could download whatever is inside this grey head of mine and those of others as regards what it is all about. They could then develop themselves and create positive influences on aviation in Shannon Airport and in the aviation industry in Ireland. There are enough third level institutions between Limerick and Galway so there are plenty of people who would love that level of experience. As the committee members will know, I am adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at the National University of Ireland Galway and I am passionate about education. I have already had a brief conversation on the phone with the CEO of Shannon Airport about this but it is important that we have a very strong, positive open relationship with third level institutions and this would be one part of where that would develop.
