Ryanair CEO calls on Ireland's Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to 'take charge'

28 May, 2021

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said: "Ireland has a Minister for Transport who has no plan, no policy and no commitment to aviation" (Irish Examiner/RTE/breakingnews.ie/Belfast Telegraph, 27-May-2021). Mr O'Leary said staycations will not "fill the hotels of Dublin, and nor will it support Irish tourism once the schools reopen in September", and called on Ireland's Prime Minister Micheál Martin and Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to "take charge and reopen Ireland from the UK from Tuesday and to and from the EU from 01-Jul-2021".
