Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:

In an overall context, from a corporate governance perspective, it is really important that you do have new people coming in, new blood and new thoughts. We can sometimes be in a particular position for too long. It does not mean we are doing a bad job or whatever but life evolves, quite frankly. Three years is a key, critical timeframe for Shannon. At that stage we will need to pause and ask where to from here and what has been achieved in those last three years. Whether I am the right person for the role going forward or not, that needs to be decided at that stage because this role is not about me. It is about what we can do together. I have one role in it. It is an important role but it is only one role. This is about all of us together. As I said earlier in response to what Deputy Carey asked at the very beginning about stakeholders, it is so critical. Let us decide after three years whether I am the right person to go forward or not. That is my response to that, if it is okay.
