In a statement published on ShannonGroup.ie, Shannon Group CEO Mary Considine said, “I would like to wish Limerick City & County Council every success as they take on King John’s Castle, and in particular to thank them for working very closely with us to ensure a seamless transfer. The support of the Departments of Transport, Housing, Local Government and Heritage, along with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and our close collaboration with the Council, ensured a smooth transition for our staff at King John’s Castle, for which we are most grateful.
“The transfer will enable Shannon Group to concentrate our energies on restoring passenger numbers at Shannon Airport, thereby supporting local economic activity and attracting tourists. This, combined with expanding our property portfolio, will enable further foreign and indigenous investment in the region.
