| Description |
English: Connaught (Knock) Airport A light aircraft parked at the Control Tower of the airport which was built mainly to serve flights bringing visitors to the nearby shrine in Knock. This is a major pilgrimage site in County Mayo where Catholics believe that in 1879 there was an apparition of the Virgin Mary, St Joseph, St John the Evangelist and Jesus Christ (as the Lamb of God).
This large airport was controversially built after Knock's parish priest James Horan persuaded Irish Taoiseach Charles Haughey to release millions of pounds of state aid for its construction. At the time this was condemned by critics in the media. However, the airport now draws not just pilgrims but many other passengers and functions as a useful air-gateway for the entire Connaught region |
