"This is a very important development for the Shannon Free Zone, Shannon International Airport and Shannon Town - for counties Clare and Limerick and for the Shannon Region - because it will serve as the basis for the regeneration and development of Shannon Free Zone in the coming decades" - said Mr Michael Leydon, Strategic Projects Manager, Shannon Development.

"Its implementation over that period will result in large-scale development of offices, laboratories, factories and warehouses, which will provide accommodation for the next generation businesses and will maintain the Shannon Free Zone's leading position in the international market."
