Aer Rianta chief Sweeney quits

AER RIANTA chief executive Margaret Sweeney has sensationally quit her job after a bust-up with the Government over her future.

The State-owned airport operator said yesterday that Ms Sweeney had exercised a clause in her contract to leave the company at the end of the month.

“This follows a prolonged period during which both the board and Ms Sweeney have failed to get clarification from the Department of Transport in relation to her role as chief executive in the future Dublin Airport Authority,” Aer Rianta said in a statement.
