“Thousands” of new jobs for Knock Airport

Thousands of new jobs could be created in Knock with EU support, that’s according to Midlands North-West MEP, Chris MacManus. Ireland West Airport passenger numbers slumped during Covid and following Brexit. Now the airport wants to progress plans for a new business campus. Chris MacManus has asked the EU to exempt Knock from state aid rules. He says that would allow the government to fully fund the project.
