We’re delighted to have her represent us for the next three years, during what promises to be an exhilarating lead up to the 2028 Olympics”.
According to Sharlene, “Shannon Airport has always been part of my journey. From some of my earliest competitions to now travelling regularly between London and my home in Newport, Co. Tipperary it has always made it so easy for me to get to where I’m going! For me to be an Ambassador of Shannon Airport is incredibly special. Whether it’s on the track or the runway, it’s all about teamwork, being ambitious, and doing our best for the region”.
