FG MEP seeks EU probe into Ryanair’s Aer Lingus bid

Fine Gael MEP Gay Mitchell is calling on the EU Competition Commission to investigate Ryanair's bid to take over Aer Lingus.

The no-frills airline has bought around 20% of shares in the national carrier since it was floated on the stock market earlier this month and is offering €2.80-a-share for the remainder.
