>Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has accused Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary of being “personally abusive”, after he called the Green Party leader “incompetent” and an “idiot”.
Ryan should have just banned him and said “y’all can’t play nice” smh
Growing up I thought Ryanair was named after Eamon Ryan like Arsene Wenger and Arsenal.
I would call that being honest… Minister….
Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has accused Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary of being “personally abusive”, after he called the Green Party leader “incompetent” and an “idiot”.
Sounds like a lad on the playground, go back to sleep Eamon.
From what I know of the Green Party leader it sounds like a devastatingly accurate summation of his character.
The truth hurts
What a fanny.
I really wish I’d grown up in an Eamon Ryan bubble, it seems nice, utopian. Everybody has a salad garden, public transport exists, people say nice things to each other…..when they don’t it requires a ministerial press release. You can fly into an oil state like Dubai apologising for Ireland’s non-existent historic CO2 emissions with taxpayer money, while getting ready for COP29 in Baku ignoring the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh……because the world is better when we’re all just nicer to each other. Here’s another tax increase
Eamonn needn’t have worried, Claire Byrne was on hand to staunchly defend him and make a show of herself doing so,
Michael O’Leary is a cunt.
There was no need for MOL to get personal. Calling him an idiot just belittles whatever legitimate argument he was trying to make.
O’Leary is the master of free press – Claire B has him on and acts shocked when he goes off on one, knowing full well he would and their clips would get replayed and quoted all over the shop.
awww poor Eamon im sure that large paycheck you receive and free privileges make up for it
It feels like Eamon Ryan is creating a lost decade for Irish transport and Infrastructure.
Blocking or delaying key infrastructure projects that will inevitably be built, sooner or later, but at a much greater financial / social cost.
Even if his legacy was that they broke ground on Metro North, when he was in government, that would be something. But no, the only legacy he leaves us is his many road narrowing projects.
O leary whines about airport charges when we all know he is only interested in shareholder profits.
But he did have a point that we’re an island and we need flights
If the Greens are whining about being called names, they better stuff their ears with cotton wool before they go door stepping at election time.
I actually agree with Eamon on this one – it was waaaaay ott personal attack. Just because the policy doesn’t align with your businesses interests doesn’t mean that its incompetence
Good
Well he is an idiot a sleepy incompetent idiot
He’s right though. Ryan is clueless
It’s Eamon Ryan, it would go against nature to be not abusive towards him.
And rightly so.
Do your fucking job then? Every person in the country has the right to call you an idiot because you have 1 job, and you can’t fucking do it so why are you in that job?

O’Leary has been slamming Irish transport ministers since time began. I can remember the ads with Mary O’Rourke back in the day – https://www.irishtimes.com/news/complaint-against-ryanair-advert-featuring-mary-o-rourke-is-upheld-1.312884

This is a smokescreen for todays story where Ryanair had to apologise for incorrectly banning folk from their airline.
