Ryanair should be celebrated, not derided

Tuesday morning’s news bulletins on RTÉ (October 7) led with an incident at Dublin airport where two taxiing Ryanair aircraft brushed wings.

The airport authority’s announcement that the airport was continuing service as normal was a secondary news item as was the fact that no passenger was injured.

But then the News is what the broadcasters choose to tell us. Ryanair, after the Catholic Church, is the ‘bete noir’ of the media and the political establishment.
