Support from Ryanair helps nullify opposition to Aer Lingus CEO’s pay

Mr Müller had his €1.5m pay packet narrowly endorsed by shareholders yesterday.
However, Aer Lingus management said it will “carefully consider” shareholder concerns over what it pays its CEO when formalising future remuneration policy. Chairman Colm Barrington made the statement, after the company’s AGM in Dublin yesterday, which eventually saw Mr Müller’s pension contribution raise passed by a mere 50.03% to 49.97% majority.
