Ryanair needs to call time on Aer Lingus bid

I gave up on buying shares a long time ago.

As a result, I generally do not look to the Stock Exchange reports part of the business pages. However, yesterday a headline caught my eye and it was to the effect that Aer Lingus dips as Ryanair blocked.

We had already heard that the EU intended blocking the proposed merger/take-over between Ryanair and Aer Lingus. Yesterday the news on the markets caught up with the EU decision.
