Fiery O’Leary attacks Government ‘muppets’

RYANAIR chief executive, Michael O’Leary, took on the environmentalists, the government, the airports and the mandarins in Brussels at a press conference in Dublin yesterday.

He also dealt with his potential time of departure as boss of the airline.

On the question of his retirement he said: “The last time I discussed it, it was 2008, but it might well be 2007. I might get the shove, you wouldn’t know,” he said with a smile.
