Aer Lingus ESOT group to conclude ballot on Ryanair bid

Aer Lingus workers who make up the Employee Share Ownership Trust will conclude their ballot today whether or not they will support Ryanair's takeover bid.

With the unions and Government set against Ryanair's attempt to take control of the National airline it is expected that the offer by Michael O'Leary and his team will be rejected today by the ESOT group.
