Scariff TD Accuses Transport Committee Of Silencing Opposition Voices From Shannon Airport Visit

A Clare Independent TD is accusing the Chair of the Transport Committee of attempting to silence opposition voices after being denied access to a meeting in Shannon Airport. Scariff Deputy Michael McNamara claims he was 'excluded' from joining the Oireactas Transport Committee's visit to the regional airport this week. The Scariff Deputy requested to attend the excursion and claims he was denied access as the meeting didn't qualify as official proceedings. Deputy McNamara is now calling for the committee to be governed in a non-partisan way.
