Tánaiste: Govt 'most anxious' to secure Ryanair jobs

The Tánaiste has said the Government is "most anxious" to secure further investment from Ryanair at Dublin or any other Irish airport.

In a letter sent to Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary this afternoon, Mary Coughlan said there were two obstacles to Ryanair's proposal to create 300 aircraft maintenance jobs in Dublin - Ryanair's refusal to talk to the DAA and the fact the hangar the airline wants is already being used by Aer Lingus.
