Major Shannon Investment Announcement On The Way This Summer

A major investment announcement relating to Shannon is expected to be made later this summer. Speaking in the Dáil, Fine Gael Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke has said he hopes there will be a "very significant announcement during the summer by a leading Irish-born company in relation to Shannon". The comments have come on foot of Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney's call for Shannon to be developed as Ireland's "second economic engine" amid what he's described as the "overdevelopment" of Dublin. Responding to Deputy Cooney in the Dáil, Minister Burke, says he's looking forward to the news being revealed.
