County Clare, IRELAND, 31st August 07 - Mayor of Clare Patricia McCarthy this evening said that the Government must now take it upon itself to retain direct services between Shannon Airport and London-Heathrow. Mayor McCarthy added she was "bitterly disappointed" with this evening's decision by the board of Aer Lingus to reject a request from Ryanair to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders. "I cannot understand how a legitimate request for an EGM of Aer Lingus has been turned down by the Board of the airline", she stated. Mayor McCarthy explained, "It is now evident that the Government must act and deliver on the guarantees given in its IPO document to have permanent and quality connectivity from Shannon to London Heathrow." "The Government has, to date, failed to realise that this is not just a Shannon issue but has major implications for the entire Country in terms of maintaining critical connectivity to one of the world's busiest Airports. The fact that an EGM of Aer Lingus shareholders is now not going to be held means that the responsibility for retaining connectivity to London Heathrow rests with this Government", concluded Mayor McCarthy. -ENDS- Notes to Editor: Mayor of Clare Cllr. Patricia McCarthy (087-4187132) is available for interview and further comment.
