Ryanair wanted lobbying kept secret

Documents seen by the Irish Examiner show Mr O’Leary and his company repeatedly warned that the lobbying attempt should not be made public and should have been censored out of Freedom of Information (FOI) act responses.
In late February, a Sunday newspaper reported that Mr O’Leary and Ryanair lobbied Finance Minister Michael Noonan to prevent airport passenger charge increases by the Dublin Airport Authority.
