O’Leary to explain reduction in Kerry-Dublin route

RYANAIR chief Michael O’Leary is due in Kerry today and is expected to spell out the reasons for his airline’s major reduction in services on the Kerry to Dublin route.

A media briefing is planned for Tralee and Mr O’Leary will be also asked why Ryanair decided to pull out of its Public Service Obligation (PSO) contract with the Department of Transport to provide a subsidised service on the route.

He may also meet members of Kerry County Council, which has already discussed the issue at a special meeting.
