The Taoiseach has suggested that there could be scope to find a solution that could see Shannon Heritage open its sites for longer this summer.
Micheál Martin was responding in the Dáil to a question on the matter from Clare’s Independent TD Michael McNamara, who called for legislation to bring about balanced regional development, including in the aviation sector.
