Govt urged to intervene in Aer Lingus-Shannon crisis

The Government is being urged to intervene as a major shareholder of Aer Lingus after the airline refused a request from Ryanair to call an Extraordinary General Meeting.

Business groups in the Shannon region are calling on the Taoiseach to use the Government's 25% share in the company to force Aer Lingus to hold an EGM.
