    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.

    Got all charged up watching VinnyB did ye?

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    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.

    He'd need a party first


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 325 ✭✭I-Shot-Jr


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff

    Members of the Ryanair party get 10% off on all flights.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭Whippersnapper


    Just think for a second on how he makes a profit in the first place... Yeah, still want him as Taoiseach?

    You'd prefer someone from the aerlingus circa 1980s school of leadership?

    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

    I said no to O'Leary, where in my reply does it say I want an Airline boss in charge of a COUNTRY ?

    Go on I'm intrigued. Considering this is the first night I have ever posted in AH we don't get many political topics in Motors it should be easy for you to find my posts.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    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:

    I hate the guy, but he's growing the tash for movember. He should just give some money to charity...he looks like a big enough ársehole without it.:)

    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?

    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.
