Tributes have been paid to founding director and first acting CEO of Shannon Chamber and Irish Air Corps veteran Eddie Ryan who died this week.
Shannon Chamber Board and executive have expressed saddened to hear of the passing of a founding director of the Chamber, and first acting CEO, Eddie Ryan.
Eddie’s association with aviation spanned a lifetime of over 70 years and it was fitting that he was awarded the Royal Aeronautical Society Distinguished Service Award for this lifetime of dedication to aviation and inspiring many young people.
Remembering Eddie, Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes says: “Without much help from anyone, Eddie established the Aviation Museum, and along with Jane Magill has since developed it into one of the few visitor attractions currently in Shannon.
