I am delighted to be a patron of The Shannon Region Conference & Sports Bureau. With 24 routes from all over the UK and Europe to Shannon, Ryanair is investing enormous resources in new aircraft and new routes to bring new visitors to Limerick and Shannon. I urge you to come see the spiritual home of Irish rugby….and the region with some of the best golf clubs, best pubs and best people in the world…
