It went to an Irish charity before and a UK one, he is running a European company with customers all over Europe. He also pays all his tax in this country. He is also the number one horse owner in Ireland. Apart from doing anything to get free marketing his company is on time more often, loses less bags and consider the growth in their passenger numbers. You need to educate yourself about Ireland's most successful company.

Thank u! That's why micheal o leary would b great 4 this country! As we all know, Ireland is a business and needs 2 b run as one, biffo an co failed in this and that why we are now paying high taxes (on everything) a **** health care system that cost BILLIONS! And almost everything aspect of Irish life costing way over eu average and basically sold the taxpayer and Irish assist 2 the eu ****s for the next 100 years!!

47% of AH dont know very much about economics and the difference between running a private company and a country.

Michael o leary would save us money all right, pretty much overnight, but dont expect silly little things like a medical card for the ill or the drugs payment scheme to be there when you need them.

Oh, and social welfare.. lol that doesnt exist anymore


I could do what he'd do. Cut social welfare and health spending in half. Problem solved. Unfortunatley, elected reps have to at some point answer to the people believe it or not, and as Dr G fitzgerald and Pat Rabbite said to that complete joke of a journalist last night, it sounds easy but its not

Mr Trade In

:eek: Optimus Prime and Jesus,are you trying to anger our new German overlords. I vote for Captain Hindsight or Michael O'Leary as who ever takes over will leave a bitter taste and we all hate O'Leary already.

We should introduce a list system.

This way we get people who are not school teachers and Daddys sons but real professionals and academics in their fields.

IMO the following people should be installed as a caretaker gov. until we reform the electorial regime.

Constantin Gourdiev
Paul Sommerville
Brian Lucey
Peter Mathews
David McWilliams
Morgan Kelly

These people are experts on the economy. By pooling their knowledge we will soon be on the right track.

LOL

Do you think Biffo, Gilmore or Kenny are able to run a private company as smoothly as O'Leary?

Not a hope. He would reduce costs. Not neccessarily by getting of every great and good thing. Thats not how he operates. He's not a machine - he knows certain services would have to remain. He would cut the bull**** - the likes of T2 for over a billion quid- would never happen.

Statues costing 12 million. Not a hope. He'd get a bigger one built for 12,000.

Not wasting is very different from the sensationalist crap you were spouting about "no hospitals" "no social welfare"

More likely - he'd weed out the scroungers and wasters from the HSE, get rid of the expensive reams of red tape, and make it a lean, efficient health system to rival the best in the world. One we could be proud of.

He'd take the power back off the unions and we could actually get **** done in this country again without everything having to be cleared by every bearded sandal wearing idiot who thinks their opinion matters.

I know Michael O'Leary would never be Taoiseach - chances are he'd turn the job down if he was even offered, but we need someone like him - ruthless, unflinching to come in a fix everything that is wrong with this country and this sorry excuse for a government.

Again, a retarded child could tell you that this is a solution, but try impliment it is another thing. There is this small thing called the law, and he right to representation of a union. Im no fan of Unions, but i can assure you a union that can afford to pay their Hack leader 200k per year can well affor to go to court and hold up any of these nice plans of yours

Liam Byrne

It's not a valid poll without Shane Ross as an option - he's the only politician I'd 100% trust to do things for the benefit of the Irish people as a whole.

Your talking out of your ass, if you could do what he can do we would have a second leading European business. What he does is meet targets as cost effectively as possible. There are no post-its or thumb tacks in Ryanair. You presume he would just leave the sick and the poor fucked, perhaps he would find a more cost effective way to provide for them, perhaps food purchase cards for people on social welfare so they cant spend as much of it on alcohol, cigarettes, etc. Tightness when it comes to purchasing would be one of his strong points.

One of those mentioned has proposed these ideas that if implemented will save the country over €5bn

* The abolishing of over 145 state bodies and companies including the dismantling of the HSE and FAS and their replacement with better, more cost effective alternatives;
* Saving over €5billion, or 1 euro in 10 spent by public bodies, by confronting waste, duplication and inefficiency;
* Externally recruiting new high level specialists in banking, taxation and macro economic forecasting to improve the Dept. of Finance’s capacity to deliver on key tasks;
* At least 1/3rd of all appointments at a senior level in the Public Service (above PO level) will be made from outside the current system for a period of 5 years;
* All lobbyists will have to be registered with the Standard’s in Public Office Commission and recent restrictions to the Freedom of Information Act will be reversed.
* We will establish an Independent Fiscal Council to advise Parliament on issues such as borrowing levels, debt reduction and taxation planning. The Fiscal Council will be accountable to the Oireachtas Finance Committee.

Shame he doesn't 'look the part' though. This is the age of X-factor after all...

Sadly it is you who is talking out of your cornhole. Because its for the reasons i pointed out, whether it be from my arse or not are the same reasons Michael O Leary would not go into politics when he was asked if he would time and time again

Run_to_da_hills

Pointless poll.

The IMFwill be running this country irrespective of who gets in......:mad:

Let him buy what he likes then. Just not for Ireland. He may be an entrepreneur, opportunist even, but capitalism is his religion and that does not a leader make.

None of the above

We really need a strong individual, one who is not linked to party politics or vested interest. This leader will need to take Banks, public sector, unions all head on and with no compromise
No agreements or deals that give one group of people an unfair advantage over another group

OPENROAD

As someone already pointed out, doesn't really matter now for the next few years.
