Ryanair's offer has been rejected by the Irish government and it is unlikely that Ryanair will raise their offer. So EI remains an independent entity for the time being.

And MOL may no longer be running Ryanair in 2010, if his oft-reported quote of a few years ago to retire in 2008/9 really is true.
