Meanwhile, a former Mayor of Clare and long-standing Sahnnon Councillor says she doesn't agree with selling the shares either.
Patricia Mc Carthy feels the sale is reminiscent of what happened when Heathrow slots were removed from Shannon in 2007, and is fearful that selling the shares opens the door for another blow to the local economy.
