Excitement is in the air at Shannon Airport this morning, as rugby fans and their heroes fly to France in the hope of cheering Munster to a fifth Heineken Cup Final.
Rob Penney and his players fly to Montpelier from Clare’s International Airport this morning, ahead of the clash with Clermont Auvergne tomorrow – they’ll be joined in France by thousands of the Munster faithful, many of whom are also flying from Shannon today.
The airport has teamed up with Munster to sell red coloured wristbands embossed with the motto ‘Believe’ to the fans, with proceeds going to Jigsaw, which offers mental health supports to young people across Ireland.
Niall Moloney, Head of Operations at Shannon, is hopeful Clare’s international airport will be a scene of great joy this weekend.
