Shannon Airport has resumed operations this lunchtime following a temporary closure last night.
The Clare base was stood down at 11.00pm last night due to unexpected heavy fog during a period of essential taxiway maintenance.
A number of flights were subsequently cancelled and diverted as a result and the Shannon Airport Group is still expecting some disruptions to the flight schedule throughout the day.
Passengers are being advised to to check with their respective airlines for the most up-to-date information on their flights.
