    I wouldn't as he freely admits picking up ladies on the road so you might need anti biotics afterwards.

    Is this true and in what conext do you pick up ladies? Is this when they are thumbing or when they are....hanging around the lanes between Leeson Street and Baggot St?

    If someone is going not come to Ireland because of a 10 euro tax, do we really want them coming here? They'd probably bring their own packed lunch
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    Coloda, I was just using a personal example of my experiences but you were using your example to try to prove that AL were cheaper than RA based on 1 flight.

    A booked flight really comes down to price whether it is business or pleasure.
    Business travellers normally will have short notice flights so AL would tend to be better.
    If you are common Joe going on a short break with little baggage RA is usually the winner.

    On the tax issue- it appears we have bigger taxes to many other countries already.
    Increasing it more than was done in the October budget will hit both AL and RA hard.

    Yes we do. If someone is looking around for a weekend break and a flight to Amsterdam is 40 eur and one to Dublin is 50 Eur....
    Given that Ireland doesn't have weather or the same cultural attractions as many cities, especially southern European Cities like Naples or Barcelona, we have to compete somehow.
    They will spend more than a tenner when they get here.

    Ryanair pays its cabin crew so badly they have to walk to work, they can't even afford to take a bus. You'll see them on the airport road any morning, rain snow or shine.
    I often give them a lift.
    Odie takes that as a cue to jerk off to the thought of a Ryanair hostie 'getting a ride'. Kinda doubly sick when you consider he's part of the machinery which promotes the exploitation of Ryanairs female employees to the extent they must prostitute themselves to make a living.

    We have one of the lowest aviation taxes in Western Europe. Compare our taxes to those in the UK and the Netherlands.

    Ryanair should be banned and O'Leary gaoled.
    "I hereby declare that the Continuity Executive and the Continuity Army Council are the lawful Executive and Army Council respectively of the Irish Republican Army, and that the governmental authority, delegated in the Proclamation of 1938, now resides in the Continuity Army Council, and its lawful successors."
