Brilliant interview by Pat and Michael. No holds barred, and the truth came out in the wash. Michael speaks for Ireland plc and is creating jobs for our young people. He has global insight on what is the best way forward. He is practical, down to earth and lives in reality. He is also hugely respected around the world.
Also pays minimum wage and refuses to allow unions, or pay workers for their time before take-off. No young person working for Ryanair will ever be able to afford a home, so why would you wish that on any Irish young person?
@@saharzieso we have lending restrictions we have planning restrictions we have dysfunctional construction sector we have uncontrolled immigration we have landlord greed. But the difficulty getting on the housing ladder is … Michael O’Leary?
Poor Pat nearly had a heart attack when Michael started dropping truth bombs about the asylum scammers , i wonder if he thinks he is far right or is that label only reserved for the working class.
You have to run for the Dail first and then see what the outcome of an election is. Politics being defined as "the art of the possible", I suspect it would not suit his abrasive and intolerant manner.
He wouldn’t last because he would offend too many vested interests, and all the people who say the want change and then when it comes they don’t want it because it might inconvenience them a bit. He’d last one term. Great idea if it would work.
Ratoath and Ashbourne are nowhere near the airport. Planes shouldn't be flying over these towns and villages and this is only since the opening of the north runway.
I'm from Swords. The pub i grew up next to was more of a disturbance than any overhead aircraft. Anybody complaining about the noise of aircraft is just looking for something to moan about.
Michael O'Leiry is undervalued in Ireland; the Government should listen to him. he has sound common sence and tells it in a clear way that anybody can understand, Perhaps he might consent to a couple of hours a month as advisor to our govmt he could not be a politician it would drive him crazy, He is a man of action, a man of his word and a man of the people. I do admire what he is and what he has done for tourism in our country.
MOL is razor-focused on delivering for his shareholders. Anyone who believes that he would be suited to running a public service is sadly deluded. There is far too much complexity and, in particular, a whole range of factors that are outside management control.
Both Michael and myself were raised in the town land of Lynn outside Mullingar. I remember his late father Ted , which I remember as a school boy to be a very clever businessman, had his business fingers in so many pies! I'm not surprised by Michael's achievements. Best Regards Valentine Shanley
This is precisely why Michael O'Leary is where he is. One can not but admire him for not spouting idiotic ideology, which incidentally is the new religion in Ireland, but instead, he approaches issues with rationality. We, as a small island (32,000 sq miles and 1/3 the SIZE of New Zealand), can NOT afford to try to take on the world's problems ad infinitum.
Michael O Leary is an excellent businessman. All he says makes sense! He actually wants Ireland on the map and these idiots can’t see it! Absurd is right!
Michael O Leary would be so welcome to make changes in this country, that need to be made, he would be be such an amazing person to take on some of the bottle neck problems we create through indifference and stupidity .
I feel like he wouldn't care about making decisions that might make us look bad to Europe but would ultimately be in Ireland's best interest. Our current politicians are sickeners that want to be seen as the role models of the world and get a clap on the back from the EU.
I also feel like he wouldn't care about making decisions that would be unpopular with Europe but would ultimately be in irelands best interest. Our current politicians are sickeners that want to be seen as role models to the world.
@@Paul-cl6uo great PR to hold massive events in Limerick at his own cost inviting celebrities over to boost the local economy. The Pro Am being held there in a few years. He gave a million to GAA for each county. I didn't see the government doing that. Gives millions to charity every year but you keep crying about his tax bill that the government will waste on refugees 👍 he has to pay taxes on his Irish businesses including vat.
Micheal O’Leary had to drag airlingus kicking and screaming into the 21 century, we always try to knock our own, especially someone that can think outside of the box,😊
Very interesting listening to Michael, he has a point, why are documents not be scanned before boarding. Such a simple answer, probably some woke clown arguing human rights, just do for everybody.
Good idea from Ryanair to take copies of their documents before allowing them to board a flight to Ireland. The Irish government is too weak to deport illegal economic migrants 🙄 bloody disgrace
Boom,well done O'Leary if it wasnt for him Flights to the UK would still be a grand,the only reason why most working class got to visit Europe was because of him and thats a fact!
I've said it for years this man should be running the country, no doubt he'd upset some people but he'd do what needs to be done. Would he do the job ? Unlikely, he's already very successful.
What am I missing? Surely it makes sense to expand the other airports. Has anyone looked at the percentage of passengers travelling to Dublin airport from outside of Dublin. I'm definitely sick of having to get across the country from Galway to get anywhere.
I have great respect for Mr Oleary. He has built an airline runs it efficiently and and offers low fares so us the public can go places. Without his airline we wouldn't be able to visit our granddaughter and without his airline our daughter would not have met her now Italian husband. I feel her quality of life is far superior now to what it would have been in UK . Thanks Mr Oleary you didn,t know you were in the matchmaking industry as well. I abide by Ryan Airs rules and never had any trouble its people who try to test the boundaries that make all the fuss.
One of the best comments I have heard Michael O’Leary give was in response to an invitation to the President’s house in the park for a 2 day conference on job creation at the time of the financial crisis. O’Leary turned down the invitation to attend, saying he would go if the conference started at 7am and finished at 9am 😂
O'Leary could have Ireland in great economic shape in a 5 year term! Hope 1 day he's given the opportunity to reform our economic doctrine and flush out the severe incompetence in our infrastructure and economic planning departments!
The State should invest in Belfast Airport. There are a great number of tourist attractions in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties not properly served by Dublin Airport.
Yes my thinking the same as after a short while you get use to anything, be it smell, taste, noise or any situation. In my long years they are part of living. You need to go on a small island if you want quietness, as its part of living
Absolutely spot on. There is practically no joined up thinking here. When we say it as it is - the headcases in Government here and Civil service are incapable of running the economics. Filling up hotels with immigrants ain't going to help support the tourism industry? So Immigration big issue. Investor led housing development for build to rent only ain't going to solve the affordability issue and high cost of housing to rent or buy? I hate to say it but We are a laughing stock with a load of loonies running the country.
why do we have to increase Traffic into Dublin...9 out of 10 flights coming into Ireland ,fly into Dublin. Yet we have 2 large Regional airports in Cork and Shannon that are underused comparable to Dublin. Why not increase the flights and Destinations into these spaces Michael. Im from Kilkenny , im quite happy to go to Shannon or Cork to fly. I certainly wont have to spend an arm and a leg to park my car.
People talk about noise but little is done about barking dogs and nuisance alarms in housing estates all around Dublin. Only ONE dog warden in South County Dublin...for a population of 300,000. So the impact of aviation noise is to be put into context with the nonsense put up with other sources of noise such as motorbikes at 3 am in the morning or bin lorries at 7am......which does not seem to bother people as much as the demon of Irish people...Mick O'Leary and Ryanair.
If the greens are really concerned about the amount of airyraffic and the environment, why can I not purchase Irish fruit and veg in my local supermarket ? Apples from Brazil, onions from Israel and Spain, I could go on , how is it good for the environment to import food that we can grow easily in this country ?
Well said, I find it very hard for years to get our beautiful home grown or made food It goes against everything i had in the passed. When in my young days I grew my vegetables as my parents did before me, they look at you when you inquire have you Irish products in your own country. One supermarket worker replyed we are an English company why would they have Irish products. The reason why the Irish people first joined the EEC at the beginning was to trade, so each of the few countries at the start could trade with each other. Now that's knocked on the head, every factory, business and beautiful shops have disappear and now our food, we dont know what we are eating or where it is coming from. They call this progress
Why would someone, who has documentation that can get past an airport visa check desk, then destroy those documents? Surely they would want to keep those documents to ensure they can stay in that country? Or is the thinking that destroying them means they can claim they are an asylum seeker without a flight/visa papertrail to prove otherwise? Seems like a loophole in airport operations that should have been sewn up a long time ago :/
So much more 2 billion setting up irish water than scrapping it 300 million for the metro 3 billion for broadband and gave it away for free intel and facebook built bigger projects than the hospital much bigger and we're on time and built for the projects cost price
@_alienblood the reason irish water was scrapped is because the meters are too expensive and have to be replaced every couple of years. I can't remember exactly what the problem is but it's something to do with them having to be reconfigured and this costs more than it costs to replace it. Typical irish infrastructure planning 😂😂😂
His figures on the Children’s Hospital are miles off. The new hospital is 160,000 sq m, roughly ten times 125,000 sq ft, simply not comparable and massively misleading.

What O, Leary said about the asylum seekers arriving in Irland. He told the truth, nothing more.
Funny that if he says it about Ireland it’s correct but if Fararge says it about the UK it’s racist 🤣. It’s refreshing to hear someone like this tbh
If they have photo of the passport why not send them back on the next flight period? The problem solved
This guy is a class act...once again exposing our incompetent self serving government.

Really? I don't think he acted surprised at all.

Yep. Pat gets extremely upset when anyone approaches the list of things he has been ordered not to talk about or allow anyone else to talk about.

this man would be running Ireland in a normal world, sadly too smart for politics
As a Brit I ahve always liked this straight talking man! Just Quality

He wouldn't accept the paltry wage plus he needs agreement and CEOs don't do democracy.
Totally agree with this man talks more sense than the politicians
This man is a genius and should be running our country.... always in awe when he is interviewed
The best business man Ireland ever produced
By miles
dunno, Smurfit and the Roche brothers would be up there too. We've produced a few but yes you have to admire O'Leary. He's always on the ball.

He is so sensible and pragmatic.

Well done Michael
Micheal O’Leary had to drag airlingus kicking and screaming into the 21 century, we always try to knock our own, especially someone that can think outside of the box,😊
It’s insane that only 20% can get to our major airport by bus
Did he not mean that the number is 20%, not that it's limited to 20%. Although both concepts are related
What he meant was that 20% is now much higher, and it could be higher in the future.
The fact we don't have a single airport connected to rail is ridiculous
Plenty more can they just choose not to. Even the most regional parts of Ireland have a Dublin bus which will stop at the airport.
Very clever man I wish he was our leader
And so say all of us.
I wouldn't mind Mike running the country.
Don’t think he is interested but I wouldn’t be able to write 1 fast enough on the ballot paper.
The usual good sense from Mick O'Leary!

Failte Ireland need to speak out on Airport passenger cap issue otherwise we won’t be able to grow tourism!

Boom,well done O'Leary if it wasnt for him Flights to the UK would still be a grand,the only reason why most working class got to visit Europe was because of him and thats a fact!
Absolutely. People can keep in touch with family now. This would be impossible without Ryanair and it’s effect on the industry
