A Government Minister has announced a funding pool of over €4 million that Shannon Airport can avail of as it strives to meet its sustainability goals.
Minister of State at the Department of Transport and at the Department of the Environment Climate and Communications, James Lawless, has relayed the news during a visit to the Midwest base.

Minister Lawless says any sustainability proposals Shannon puts forward – including public transport improvements – will most likely be looked favourably upon by his Department.
