Gary McGann, a former director of Anglo Irish Bank, has told the Transport Minister he is to resign as chairman of the Dublin Airport Authority.
Mr McGann, currently chief executive of paper and packaging group Smurfit Kappa, said his decision had been influenced by his previous role at Anglo. But he also said he needed to focus his time and energy on Smurfit Kappa in the current economic downturn.
Mr McGann said he acted 'with honesty and integrity' in his time at Anglo. 'But given recent commentary about events at the bank, my decision today is made in the best interests of the DAA and of Smurfit Kappa,' he said. Mr McGann quit the Anglo board in January.
