The network was officially launched this morning by An Taoiseach, Mr. Kenny. Mr. Henry was speaking in Ballyseedy, Co. Kerry, at an event to mark the companyÕs construction and activation of its fibre broadband network. Costing Û650,000 and providing fibre-broadband connections directly to approximately 340 premises in the locality, it is enetÕs showcase project for the National Broadband Plan. ÒWeÕre not here today to promise what we will do, but to demonstrate what we have done. WeÕve funded and built this local network, and families here are now enjoying genuinely world class broadband services. Furthermore, end users have a range of service providers to choose from, a fact that is facilitated by our open access model,Ó Mr. Henry added. An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny commented: “The National Broadband Plan is an essential component of the Government’s plan to keep the recovery going by providing the necessary infrastructure for economic growth and job creation. I am pleased to launch enet’s fibre broadband network for North Kerry today which is a welcome service for this part of the country which, like much of rural Ireland, has been lagging behind for too long.

• Shannon becomes first Irish airport to introduce eduroam wifi Secure global wifi system for third level will enable students, researchers and staff stay campus-connected while at airport DATE: Shannon Airport has recorded another first after rolling out eduroam – the secure global wifi roaming service for the international research and education community. Over 1billion authentications happen every year on eduroam, which securely connects students, staff, and researchers around the world to the Internet, enabling them to access all their academic activities while on campus or on the move. Shannon is the first Irish airport to introduce eduroam wifi (education roaming), adding to the 12,000 locations across 101 countries worldwide where it operates. By just opening their laptop or smartphone, those from participating institutions around the world have Internet connectivity – across their own third level campus, when visiting other participating institutions and in public places, now including Shannon Airport.

• 02/10/2019 NO REPRO FEE, MAXWELLS DUBLIN Aviation and enterprise policy must be linked to achieve balanced regional development targets – Copenhagen Economics Assessment of Irish aviation markets recommends range of government supports and interventions amid concerns of regional impactReport finds that establishing post-Brexit hub access to Frankfurt Airport would add a potential GDP contribution of €412 million to Mid-West/West regionDominance of Dublin Airport at the expense of other Irish airports is striking. Pic shows ( l to r ) Christian Jervelund, Managing Partner, Copenhagen Economics, Dr Catriona Cahill, Chief Economist, Limerick Chamber and Eoin Ryan, President, Limerick Chamber. Intensified competition between Irish airports over passengers and airlines will have severe consequences for economic activity and jobs outside the Greater Dublin Area, a report by international economic consultants has warned.  The report by Denmark’s Copenhagen Economics found that significant capacity expansion planned for Dublin Airport will make it very difficult for other airports to maintain current routes and passenger levels.  It also means that other airports will not be able to act as a catalyst for regional growth as foreseen in Project Ireland 2040 and the Regional Enterprise Plan.  The report was commissioned by Limerick Chamber and supported by Shannon, Ennis and Galway Chambers in response to the need for enhanced direct air connectivity into the regions to support business and, not least, foreign direct investment.  Collectively these four Chambers represent 1,358 members supporting 105,500 jobs across the Mid-West and West.

• 120922 Shannon Airport says “Bon Voyage” as inaugural Paris flight takes to the skies Monday 12 September 2022: There was plenty of ‘Bonjour’ and ‘Bon Voyage’ as Shannon Airport staff welcomed the start of a brand-new service to Paris Orly with a new carrier, Vueling. The twice weekly service to Paris Orly Airport will operate on Mondays and Fridays from today. There was an air of excitement at the departures gate for passengers bound for Orly Airport, as the first flight to Paris took off for the city of lights. Shannon’s new carrier Vueling is part of the IAG group that owns Aer Lingus. Orly Airport is the nearest airport to the centre of Paris, just 13km from the city. It is the second largest airport in France and provides onward connections to major European cities and Middle Eastern countries. Pic Arthur Ellis.
