Congratulating Mary Considine on being recognised for her exceptional leadership and commitment to the Shannon Region, Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes said: “Mary is a trailblazer and a proud ambassador for County Clare. Her contribution to the Mid-West region, and to aviation in Ireland, continues to be both inspiring and impactful. We are delighted to see her receive this well-deserved honour.”
