Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:
A number of good and challenging ideas are coming out of this meeting and that suggestion is definitely one of them. We always focus, particularly in Shannon, on travelling west to New York and Boston because, traditionally, that is where our families emigrated to. However, the connection on the other side is very interesting. I am delighted with the Deputy's initiative to put this suggestion to the Saudi Arabian ambassador, in regard to Riyadh, and for connecting with the CEO in Shannon about it. I am sure the CEO will explore that further. It would be very exciting if we could land a route like that.
