Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Pádraig Ó Céidigh:
The Senator's colleague, Deputy Cathal Crowe, commented at the start of the meeting on conversations he has had with the Saudi Arabian ambassador on flights to Riyadh, which we will follow up on and I look forward to that opportunity. Traditionally, going west is where we have flown, but going east, much can be done in that direction.
Regarding specific routes, I have not had an opportunity to drill down, go underneath the bonnet and see the engine in the context of where Shannon Group is at and whether there are specific routes from Shannon. I am still not chairperson of the Shannon Group. The Senator might excuse my lack of detailed knowledge of that.
