Ryanair appoints ex-department boss despite criticisms

Ryanair has appointed the former secretary general of the Department of Transport, Julie O’Neill, to the board of Ryanair Holdings.

The move came as the British Court of Appeal rejected the low-cost airline’s attempt to block an investigation into its holdings in Aer Lingus.

Ms O’Neill must have put in an incredible interview considering Mr O’Leary previously blasted the Department of Transport as being a black hole of talent.
