Government right not to sell stake in Aer Lingus

It’s nice, once in a while, to compliment the Government, this time for rejecting the sale of Aer Lingus. Selling would be retrograde, similar to casting a salmon to catch a trout.

As referred to in the media, I cannot believe Aer Lingus ‘languishes in limbo’ on the periphery of Europe, as a small airline with nine million passengers annually, as compared with the 90m flying Ryanair.

It is a viable outfit, happily competing with the giant.
