O'leary has just been on RTE radio talking about this.
He was asked if he could work with a unionised workforce in EI and said he would because if the plan goes ahead that they would still be run as 2 seperate companies.
He wants to buy the staff shares worth €60,000 per worker which hesays should be tempting to them and he wants the Irish government share but will be happy wit just more than 50%.
Ryan airare already entitled to a board seat owning the 16% but hesays they wont be taking this up.

The offer is conditional on them getting above 50%.
