Feasibility Study on the Establishment of a Humanitarian Hub at Shannon Airport
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade/An Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála
The Programme for Government sets out the Government’s desire to position Ireland, in particular Shannon airport, as an international hub for the storage and distribution of emergency humanitarian supplies.
At the present time, one of the key tools in Ireland’s response to humanitarian emergencies overseas is Irish Aid’s Rapid Response Initiative, one element of which involves the stockpiling of relief items for the immediate needs of crisis victims. The stocks are held in the United Nations Humanitarian Relief Depot (UNHRD) network, currently the world’s most extensive system of humanitarian relief hubs, with locations in or close to regions prone to natural or other disasters. The UN humanitarian system manages the procurement, recording and distribution of Ireland’s and other donor humanitarian assets.
In this context and following on from a series of contacts between the Development Cooperation Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (known externally as Irish Aid), Shannon Airport, Shannon Development and other interested parties, it has been agreed that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade should undertake a feasibility study to ascertain the viability of developing a humanitarian hub at Shannon, cost of such an initiative as well as ways in which this initiative could realistically be taken forward.
The purpose of this feasibility study is to provide an independent, evidence-based assessment of the feasibility, viability and value for money of a potential humanitarian hub at Shannon Airport, and to identify practical ways in which this might be realised.
