Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair, owns a taxi company called O’Leary Cabs, which operates a single taxi solely used by O’Leary himself so that he can legally travel in bus lanes within Dublin. In 2004, the company made a profit of approximately €500,000.

  2. I’m pretty sure the taxi company was shut down rather quickly when he started it 20 years ago

  3. But he has strong views on everyone else having access to a metro.

  4. Isn’t this no longer applicable? The loophole was closed, hence other individuals haven’t also done the same

  6. This has been gone a long time. He used it to commute from Mullingar to the airport every day.

  7. Yes we know. This information has been know for over a decade by nearly everyone.

  8. He is driven in that car and he works while he is being driven.
    Do you guys work on your way to work or on your way home?

  11. Taxis should really not be allowed use bus lanes.

    While they are technically ‘public’ transport they still carry the same volume of passengers as any other car.

  12. He used it to try to drive in bus lanes when he was in Dublin. Was informed that taxi’s could only use the bus lane when they had a fare. Fairly sure he got rid of it then.

  13. It’s called Tillingdale ULC. Used to be Ltd but making it ULC gave him the ability to not publish his accounts. It wasn’t just a taxi business, he ran his stud/agri operations through it also. No taxi company in the land is making half a million in profits.

  15. Oh come on, this is how wealth should be utilized and we all know it.

  17. There’s people who’d vote for this man to be our president.

  18. This is easily one of the least outrageous things that man has done.

  22. This is the same cunt who doesn’t want Dubliners to have modern efficient public transport. Whilst he games the system and launders money this way.
