SIPTU complains over Ryanair ‘bullyboy’ tactics

THE country’s largest union has complained to the advertising watchdog about “bullyboy” advertising by Ryanair’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary.

The advertisements, which ran in national newspapers last Monday, accused SIPTU of “Saying No to competition” in the taxi, airline, bus and airport markets.

SIPTU said it was referring the “misleading” ads to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
