On the day the Taoiseach was elected and, indeed, in the days and weeks beforehand, I raised with him the issue of the Shannon Heritage sites. Clare County Council is willing to keep these important sites going and has carried out detailed due diligence on the capital investment required. Shannon Airport wants to concentrate on its core activities of aviation and commercial property but certainty is required most of all by the workers. They have lived with the uncertainty of the Shannon Heritage group since the Government took office. Two weeks ago, the Taoiseach toldThe Clare Echo: "I will talk to the Ministers and get this resolved." I am, therefore, wondering if he has any update on what is going to happen with the Shannon Heritage sites.
