Foreword
Enterprise Ireland, The Industrial Development Authority, Shannon Development and the Federation
of Aerospace Enterprises in Ireland are pleased to publish the latest edition of ‘Ireland’s Aerospace
Industry Directory’.
Ireland’s aviation industry today compromises over 230 companies employing a highly skilled workforce.
Aerospace in Ireland combines commercial airlines, air traffic and fleet management, manufacturing,
international services and back office activities. It also embraces aircraft maintenance and overhaul
centres specialising in airframes, aero engines, APUs landing gear, inventory and cabin interiors. Other
dominant sectors include leasing and financial services, airports, research and development. Key
competencies include testing, design, electronics, avionics, manufacture and supply of equipment and
components as well as the provision of a wide range of consultancy, training, software development and
validation, human resource and maintenance services.
Ireland meets the needs of airlines, manufacturers and other aviation corporations and investors seeking
facilities and services for European and world markets. Ireland offers considerable advantages – a
strategic location, a professional and technically sophisticated English speaking workforce and a first
class sub supply network. Continuous research and development is supported by Irish government and
European Union programmes.
Our organisations combine to provide a forum through which international aerospace companies
can access their Irish counterparts either to source products or form profitable alliances. The skills,
technologies and material capabilities within Irish companies enable them to provide world class
aerospace products and to service the world’s aerospace markets at competitive prices.
This expertise ensures that Ireland is identified as a truly global centre of aviation expertise.

Shannon Development
2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Shannon Development, Ireland’s only dedicated regional development
company, which was originally set up by government to promote Shannon International Airport. The
company pioneered several industrial and tourism innovations, such as the Shannon Free Zone, the world’s
first duty free zone. Shannon Development also helped established Europe’s first US Customs preclearance service facility, now located at Shannon Airport.
Today, the Shannon Free Zone is a critically important regional economic hub. It is home to over 100
international companies, employing over c.7,000 workers, and generates over €3.5 billion in export sales
annually across a range of internationally traded services and high-end manufacturing sectors.
With some of the leading names in world aviation based in Shannon, such as GECAS, Shannon Aerospace,
Lufthansa Technik, Hamilton Sunstrand and others, aviation is one of the strongest activity clusters in the
Shannon Free Zone. With over 30 companies engaged in various aspects of the aviation industry, Shannon
can justly claim to be Ireland’s premier aviation investment location. Existing companies provide a critical
mass of aviation activities and services in one location, generating spin-off opportunities including training
and research, and a strong local talent pool of aeronautical skills and expertise.
Shannon Development strongly promotes the aviation cluster at Shannon, and is a key investment partner
for existing company expansion and new projects locating here. With over 50 years experience, we
continue to work with existing client companies and look forward to working with new companies who
wish to locate in the Shannon aviation cluster.

• Improving the Wear Resistance and Surface
Hardness of Titanium and its alloys (Cobalt
Chrome, Nitinol, Stainless Steels, etc.)
• Applying a Thermal Barrier Coating to
Titanium and its alloys with an adhesive layer to
prevent delamination. This also increases the
operating temperature.
• Making the surface of Titanium perfectly black

Gerard Daniel Worldwide manufactures and

for Nacelle structures and trust reversers of

jet engines must be suppressed in order
that commercial aircraft comply with noise

careful design it is possible to greatly reduce such

Early acoustic liners used for this purpose were
based on the Helmholz resonator principle.
However this type of liner is only satisfactory for
attenuating specific sound frequencies.
Main Company Contact
Michael Quigley
Managing Director
mquigley@gerarddaniel.com
It is possible to increase the efficiency of acoustic
liners by making them capable of attenuating
over a broad range of frequencies. This has been
achieved by bonding a porous woven wire mesh
to the perforated facing skin. Such a structure is
referred to as single layer linear acoustic liner.
The range of attenuation frequencies can be
further increased by producing a double layer
linear acoustic liner with a second layer of woven
wire mesh.

EnBIO
Additional Information
EnBIO is actively seeking partnerships to further
develop the technologies and the application
listed above for aerospace based applications.
EnBIO can enhance the properties of Titanium
(and other metals) by treating the surface
with dopants using novel surface modification
technology (CoBlastTM).
The technology has applications in the area
of medical implants and in the aerospace area
including :
• Improving the Wear Resistance and Surface
Hardness of Titanium and its alloys (Cobalt
Chrome, Nitinol, Stainless Steels, etc.)
• Applying a Thermal Barrier Coating to
Titanium and its alloys with an adhesive layer to
prevent delamination. This also increases the
operating temperature.
• Making the surface of Titanium perfectly black
via the addition of black pigment directly into
the surface (for black body applications)

The CoBlast process is non-complex, at room
temperature and requires no wet chemistry.
The process is a novel variation of grit-blasting
and the CoBlast processing equipment. It is a
novel process for applying a range of dopant
materials to the surface of titanium alloys which
traditionally are very difficult to apply.

customers to realise new profits from existing
transactions without impacting cardholder value.
Banks and merchants rely upon Monex’s DCC to
earn new revenue from the conversion of foreign
card transactions. This is achieved by capturing
foreign exchange margins previously withheld by
the card schemes or issuing banks and sharing
that with the merchant and their acquiring bank.
DCC enables merchants to accept payment from
customers in any local currency worldwide, and
to provide settlement payment to merchants in
one or more currencies of their choice.
