As for Ryanair buying up Aer Lingus, I wonder if the EU commission will get involved in it at all?
Well thats even worse now for my Dublin travels if this deal goes thru.

I wouldn't feel too sorry for the staff at Aer Fungus. They all got a slew of free shares in the sell off, and indeed have been receiving shares in the company for years beforehand
That airline was run by the unions for years ! Finally the Irish government has the neck to sell it off and make it someone else's problem.
Whether this proposed takeover is to the benefit of the Irish air traveller is questionable though
