Western business groups come together to get Heathrow link reinstated

BUSINESS groups across the west coast will today launch a joint campaign to reinstate Heathrow flights at Shannon Airport.

The chambers in Limerick, Ennis and Shannon met yesterday to formulate a plan of action ahead of today’s industry rally organised by Shannon Development at the airport.

It will outline details of its action plan today, as well as releasing the contents of a letter sent to Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and several senior ministers asking them to invest in the future of Shannon Airport.
