Shannon chief refuses to discuss DAA bonus

THE chairman of the Shannon Airport Authority has refused to discuss the recent controversy surrounding a proposed bonus payment to the chief executive of the Dublin Airport Authority, Declan Collier.

Brian O’Connell who also sits on the board of the DAA, which sanctioned the €106,000 bonus, repeatedly declined to discuss the matter when he was pressed on the subject in Limerick yesterday.

Mr O’Connell was speaking at the two-day Financial Solutions for Business Aircraft (FiSBA) conference on business aviation hosted by Shannon Airport and Shannon Development.
