Mary Considine, CEO of The Shannon Airport Group, welcomed the announcement of a new Regional State Airports Sustainability Programme with a capital budget of €4.225m to support Shannon and Cork airports’ sustainability plans.

Welcoming the funding announcement, CEO Considine said: “We are delighted to welcome the government’s new Regional State Airports Sustainability funding programme. This investment will assist us on our journey at Shannon Airport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. It will augment our efforts to implement innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and promote sustainable practices throughout our operations, and we thank the government for its support.”
