Timmy, Willie, Peter Power, Ennis Cumainn, now is your time.
Gosh.
I wonder what the quorum is.
If there is a future, it will be Green.
How much longer does this farce have to continue for - yet again the taxpayer and customers of AL end up paying for these stupid dick comparision games.
wouldnt matter. ryanairs 29% more than covers it.
this aint politics, this is business and its a whole different kettle of fish
As soon as someone comes in with a regular Shannon Heathrow service it will all go away.Originally Posted by The Earl of Desmond
When will that be - I can't take much more of the parish pump of the west or the hyprocrisy of Ryanair and others
when the board of management realise up to 70% of their shareholders are going to vote against them at said AGM.
that is of course if the gov do their job in protecting the NATIONAL interest as opposed to ALs. perrish the thought that'll happen
It is NOT in the national interest to pander to the self serving Ryanair EGM request. Giving FR control of Aer Lingus decision making would be bad for the nation, as we would have a virtual monopoly on European services from Ireland. Bad news.
Willie the First. A play in one act by W Shakespeare.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with the Shannon's dead.
In peace, or outside of elections, there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war, or a threat to vested interests at Shannon Airport, blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of Richie Bennis;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
....
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest men of Limerick and Clare.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in the Midwest, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Willie, Shannon and the Heathrow slots!'
It's enough to make you weep.
