Shannon ‘doomed’ with state: O’Leary

Shannon Airport is doomed if it remains in public ownership and is not sold immediately to the highest bidder, Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary predicts.

Mr O’Leary has written to Transport Minister Leo Varadkar, urging him to sell Shannon and Cork airports to the highest bidder.

In an interview yesterday, Mr O’Leary said that “Shannon is doomed” if it remains in public ownership and is not sold to the highest bidder.
