Aviation taskforce recommends funding for regional airports

The Irish economy will not survive on a blanket policy of "essential travel", the aviation taskforce said. It also recommends a stimulus package for Cork, Kerry, Shannon, Knock and Donegal airports.

A stimulus package is needed for each of Cork, Shannon, Knock, Kerry and Donegal airports, the aviation taskforce set up by the Government has recommended.

The taskforce claimed the Irish economy will not survive while tourism is “starved” on domestic holidays alone.
