To start the New Year, we have a very special episode for you from our Irish Aviators series. In a year which has seen the world of aviation essentially come to a complete stand-still, these two conversations are full of the positivity that is needed at this time of year.
Jarlath is joined by Dubai Duty Free CEO Colm McLoughlin who tells the fascinating journey from Galway to running a multi-billion dollar business in Asia. From the Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum, Jarlath is joined by Margaret O'Shaughnessy who tells the incredible history of the first international airport in Ireland, the birth of Irish coffee and the key role that Hollywood star Maureen O'Hara plays in the legacy of the Museum.
