Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Group: Chairperson Designate
Mr. Conal Henry:
I will take the second question first. Shannon Heritage is effectively an exiting issue for me as incoming chair, so it is not high on my list of priorities. However, we are committed to good governance and good practice and, as a management team and board, we will ensure that everyone involved in Shannon Heritage is dealt with in a fair and appropriate manner. There is nothing within how management is dealing with the Shannon Heritage transfer that suggests to me that it is being done other than in the right way. If there is, though, I will deal with it.
Regarding the NTA, I will not give the committee specific commitments because we are working hard on how to maximise bus connectivity. I agree with the Deputy's analysis, in that we need to deepen bus connectivity to the airport. Management is working on that and there will be developments, but I do not want to get hung up on committing to individual actions that may not be the right ones.
