Shannon development statement
Commenting on the announcement a spokesperson for Shannon Development said:"Shannon Development welcomes the certainty regarding the future of Shannon Airport and the confirmation of its separation from the Dublin Airport Authority. There is still a lot of detail to be worked out around the new structure and operation of the new entity, but today's announcement is undoubtedly a major step towards creating a new entity which will act as a catalyst for growth for the wider Region in the years to come.
There are implications for Shannon Development's longstanding economic development operations, but at this early stage it is difficult to assess the implications of the proposed restructuring, and the Company will be taking time to reflect on the announcement. To this end Shannon Development will work closely with the various Government departments concerned to get clarification for staff and clients around the decision as soon as possible."
