‘Corporate clients will simply go elsewhere’

LUCRATIVE corporate events will be a significant casualty of the loss of Heathrow flights from Shannon, say events organisers in the region.

“A huge factor in being able to promote the university to international clients is that there such a great link at Shannon Airport,” she said.
