Brennan pledges to secure Shannon’s viability

TRANSPORT Minister Séamus Brennan yesterday pledged to secure a deal that will guarantee Shannon Airport’s future viability when the compulsory stopover comes to an end.

Mr Brennan would not reveal when the stopover will end because he said this was part of sensitive negotiations currently underway between the US and the European Commission.

But Mr Brennan insisted the Government will not sign any deal that will not guarantee the current level of business at Shannon Airport.
