New route announced at Shannon Airport as bank holiday surge expected
In an exciting addition to the summer 2026 schedule, Discover Airlines, a Lufthansa Group subsidiary, is set to introduce a direct, twice-weekly service from Shannon Airport to Frankfurt, Germany, starting on April 4. The route will operate on Saturdays running from April 4 to October 24, 2026, and on Thursdays from May 14 to September 24, offering passengers a quick two hour journey on board an Airbus A320-200. The new Frankfurt route will add more than 16,700 seats to Shannon's summer schedule. Welcoming the announcement Mary Considine, CEO, The Shannon Airport Group said: 'This is more fantastic news for Shannon Airport and the Mid-West business community. 'Having direct access to Frankfurt, one of Europe's key airport hubs and a leading financial centre, opens up incredible opportunities for both connectivity and growth. 'It's a win not just for business travel, but also for regional tourism. 'Germany is a hugely important market for us, and with this new direct route, inbound visitors have an easier path to the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way and all that the West of Ireland has to offer.' As part of the Lufthansa Group, Discover Airlines will connect to the vast Lufthansa Group network through their Frankfurt hub. This offers convenient and regular onward connections to destinations across Germany, Europe and beyond. The news comes as Shannon Airport is anticipating one of their busiest weekends of the year. The airport is preparing for a bustling August Bank Holiday, with almost 60,000 passengers expected to travel through the airport over the period - marking a 10 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024. This continued growth reflects a strong performance for Shannon Airport in 2025, with over 1.04 million passengers recorded in the first half of the year – a seven per cent year-on-year increase. "We're delighted to see such strong demand this August Bank Holiday period,' Ms Considine said. 'The increase in passenger numbers is a clear sign that our investments in connectivity, infrastructure and customer experience are paying off. 'Shannon is thriving, and we're proud to be playing a key role in supporting tourism and business across the region." Passengers travelling over the Bank Holiday period are advised to arrive two hours before short-haul flights and three hours before long-haul departures. It is also strongly advised to pre-book parking via ahead of what will be an exceptionally busy weekend. Shannon Airport has also recently taken home the crown for 'Ireland's Top Airport Brand 2025', retaining its position as the country's top airport brand for the third consecutive year, according to the RED C Brand Reaction Index (BRI) Ireland 2025. The newly released index, which lists the top 176 most emotionally connected brands, shows Shannon Airport placed at number 48, up three places on last year's list, and once again making it the highest-ranking airport brand in the country. 'We are absolutely delighted to be recognised as Ireland's top airport brand for a 3rd year running,' Ms Considine said. 'An excellent customer experience is always our priority here at Shannon Airport, so this comprehensive Red C testing is really important as a measure of how we are connecting with customers and delivering on that every year. 'We're incredibly grateful to our loyal passengers - not just for choosing to fly Shannon, but for recognising what we work so hard to deliver every day: great value, accessibility, convenience and comfort. 'Our fantastic teams across Shannon Airport consistently go the extra mile to make each journey smooth and enjoyable, and this announcement is a true reflection of their passion and dedication. 'A huge thank you to them all.'

Major water pipeline to be turned off amid weekend repairs
A major drinking water pipeline in the greater Dublin area is to be turned off over the coming August Bank Holiday weekend to enable critical and complex repair works to be undertaken. Uisce Éirerann says the remedial work is essential to prevent a major pipe-burst that could take weeks to repair if it happened, and impact 1.7 million people. The pipeline connects Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant with the Saggart Reservoir and supplies one third of the greater Dublin area. The work involves fixing five leaks in the watermains as well as replacing a damaged 35 metre section of pipeline. Enabling this requires the water flowing through the pipe to be turned off temporarily and the pipeline to be drained. Uisce Éireann says it will be the largest ever planned watermains repair job undertaken in the greater Dublin Area. It warns that it is possible that water supply to its customers in Dublin and parts of Wicklow and Kildare could be interrupted over the bank holiday weekend because of the work being carried out. It is clear however, that 943 customers in Kill, Arthurstown, Rathmore, Athgoe and Tipperkevin will definitely experience disruptions to their drinking water supply over the coming weekend. Uisce Éireann says that alternative water supplies will be provided for people living in those areas. Appeal to conserve water It is issuing a major appeal to customers in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to conserve water to help maintain everyone's water supply during these essential repair works. Uisce Éireann says it has been extensively planning and preparing for carrying out these complex works over the last nine months and has ensured all treated water reservoirs in the greater Dublin area are now as full as possible. Nevertheless, it says there is still a risk customers in Dublin, Wicklow and parts of Kildare may possibly experience interruptions to their water supply including low pressure, discoloured water, or water outages. Margaret Attridge, head of Water Operations at Uisce Éireann said: "This major pipeline can only be shut down for up to 28 hours before the water storage levels become too low, which could lead to widespread supply disruption. "Therefore, the specialist repair crews have a very tight deadline to finish the repairs and refill the pipeline with water. We will work through the day and night this weekend to complete these essential works as quickly and safely as possible. "We are asking for the public's help to minimise the impact of this operation; for this weekend we are asking everyone to act together and only use water for essential needs. "Please hold off on filling baths, car washing, power hosing, window washing, filling paddling pools and anything that is not vital. Reducing your water use will help maintain or extend water supply during the repairs, for yourself and, importantly, for vulnerable and high-risk users including hospitals and care homes." The repair's progress will be monitored closely and Uisce Éireann says it will keep customers updated as early as possible on the locations and duration of any prolonged impacts including supply disruptions, should they develop. It warned that following this type of work, occasionally issues such as cloudy water caused by air bubbles, or internal airlocks may arise.
