The chief executive of Shannon Airport and the Shannon Group, Mary Considine, recently briefed Oireachtas Members. She and her board have made an application to the Government for Brexit adjustment funding that would allow for an additional European hub service out of Shannon. It has been well flagged over the years that the likes of Frankfurt and Schiphol in Amsterdam have been looked at.
