Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In the years to come, this will prove to be significant and beneficial for Ireland Inc., as it provides the airport with the opportunity to become a counterpart to the eastern side of the country in terms of balanced regional development.
