Mr. O'Leary I feel is definately a trump card for the NO side judging by his rants on the Last Word. The mans arrogance knows no bounds, especially considering he doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

There are reports of 200-500k being spent by Ryanair campaigning for a Yes vote. When a listener called into the show & asked how he could justify using shareholders monies for this, he replied to the effect of "trust me.. yes is good for Ireland & Ryanair".

to true, its not like hes one of irelands most successful businessmen, ceo of Europe's largest airline or anything like that now is it....

a United Europe is good for Ryanair shareholders

Michael O Leary is good for Ryanair shareholders

whats the problem?

One has to wonder about the size of the brown envelope from the EU Commission considering how anti-EU and anti-government O'Leary has been in the past.

I used to admire O'Leary. Not any more. Moolah has obviously clouded his judgement.

With such credentials would you not expect a better go at convincing people to vote yes by just continually saying 'headbangers are voting no...headbangers!'..about 10 times in a few minutes. And I read an article in the paper today where he repeats the exact same thing.

And that line to the shareholder..'just trust me..', mad.

Cooper got him nicely when he refused to answer how he voted the last time if he did at all.

O'Leary says something like 'My vote is private and I have a right to keep it that way but I'm voting yes this time'...

Then why couldn't you just say how you voted last time.

I hope he keeps campaigning, he's a nightmare for the Yes side IMO.

'The shinnnnnners are voting no.....all the headbangers'. Cringeworthy. If Michael wants to base his vote on who is supporting which side, iscompletely hypocrital to say to people not to vote NO because of FF supporting the Yes side. He came across as the complete ******************** he is.

Well at least he knows how to establish and run one of the worlds largest airlines so not exactly stupid really... try to be sensible ...

O'Leary only cares about profit ... that is his only interest here and not the general interest of Ireland vis-a-vis Lisbon ... he'd be on Radio China calling for a Yes vote to something or other if it meant moolah for Ryanair.

And yes, Cooper caught him on the hop goodo with that question.

You see Michael knows that if Turkey joined the EU after Lisbon he would be flying millions of economic migrants on Ryanair to Ireland, UK, France and Germany etc.

He couldnt care about Lisbon, its all about EU enlargment for him and arses on seats. Poland is a good example.

Doesn't make him intelligent. The only reason Ryan Air is successful is because they exploit their workers more than other airlines. Michael O'Laery is the enemy of all decent ordinary people and should be treated with contempt. When the revolution comes he will be tried for crimes of grand theft, mass exploitation and parasitism.
