It's hoped a new funding announcement for Shannon Airport will result in more flight routes for the facility and fewer people travelling to Dublin to fly. The Clare base has been included in the €45 million Regional Airports Programme for 2026 to 2030 which has been broadened to cover airports with up to three million passengers annually. It mean Shannon along with those in Knock, Kerry and Donegal will be able to avail of crucial state funding intended to ensure the viability of smaller airports. Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons Shannon's offering is "second to none".
