I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that the tower position in shannon closed because their was only one tower ATCO on duty.
It may have been possible for that one controller to deal with the traffic, but we cannot let a live traffic situation continue in the full knowledge that if anything happens to that ATCO (incident, illness etc) there is nobody there to even wind down the operation.
