    At least this guy would run the country into profit instead of into the ground! As the day that the IMF come in and put there feet on the coffee table and talk about turning T2 in dublin airport into there own private welcoming lounge and cements us to being the laughing stock of the world with 90 billion being begged for by buffo and his muppets! Who would run the country to bring us from dragging down the euro and becoming a third world country!

    He's on record as saying that he doesn't consider himself Taoiseach material.

    We are not, and never will be, a third world country. People who say that need an education.

    I hate Micheal O'Leary but I admit, he'd make a great taoiseach

    Michael o leary is an ass hole and i will always do my best to avoid flying ryanair...Even to the point of spending more money on another airline.

    I'm not sure what kind of National Leader he'd make but one thing I am certain of is that he wouldn't be worse than our current one.

    He sure does, and running a company is not so different as running a country

    I generally refuse to elect or trust assholes...Thats why Eamonn gilmore has yet to get my vote

    But hitler was a complet asshole and got loads done.

    Just because an asshole can do stuff does not mean we should abandon our morals for him

    The fact that you got thanked by a user named "Fart" has not escaped me.

    His own personal profit? I'm sure the noble call of public service would bring out his altruism :)

    Sorry I forgot I responded once to an AH topic it was on the 6-8-2009 http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055617730. Good luck with your search. It won't be me with egg on my face in the morning.

    I find it amazing that the calander he has produced will have all its money donated to a german charity....

    Thats nice for an irish man....

    I wonder what he hopes to gain out of it....

    Oh wait he is doing it out of the goodness of his own heart....:rolleyes:

    He runs one of the most hated companies in the world,even if he started giving free seats on his flights I still wouldn't fly with Ryanair...unless of course he became Taoiseach, then I'd be on the first plane out of the country.:pac:

    He has a great mind for business and keeps a company within it's means instead of offering caviar and armchairs onboard flights that would just turn his airline into a expensive minefield like this country! Do u think o leary would sign something like the "croke park" agreement?
