Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said:

“Ryanair is delighted to support the charity single “Drive Her On”, released in memory of Ryanair Captain, Eamon Wall, who sadly passed away in January and written by our Glasgow Prestwick Base Captain, Sean Kelly, to capture the essence of his close friend and colleague. The song will be available to download via the Ryanair.com website for the month of June and all proceeds will be donated to the Carlow Kilkenny Home Care Team, a voluntary organisation which provides cancer patients and their families with much-needed specialist care.”

Ryanair Prestwick Base Captain, Sean Kelly said:

“I had the pleasure of both playing music and flying with Eamon and witnessed at first hand his sublime talent for both. His passing has left a huge hole in the lives of his family, friends and colleagues. When he passed away, we had a night in Scotland for all those who couldn’t make his funeral. On that night I played “Drive Her On”, a song I had written about Eamon that seemed to capture his spirit. It went down so well that we decided to release it as a charity single.”
