Michael O’Leary: Dáil an assembly of halfwits and lunatics

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has said the current Dáil is the “worst assembly of halfwits and lunatics”.

The aviation leader made his comments at a breakfast briefing for businesses in the Midlands, where he said the electorate needed to take responsibility for choices made at the ballot box.

The event was organised by Fianna Fáil TD Robert Troy. In typically bombastic style, Mr O’Leary said the public needed to stop voting for the “local lunatic” or “village idiot” if they wanted a strong, serious government.
