Jump To Comment: 1 2I fail to see why the huge fuss over Aer Lingus managment's move to Belfast when Shannon is superbly serviced by Michael O'Leary's Ryanair,which includes three London Airports in their extensive destination menu.
The hue and cry brigade would do better to look instead at
The damage that the Fianna fail government have stored up for the nation and it's economy ,while buying their way back into power. They have created a two tier work force; those in private enterprise whose wages -and very jobs-depend on market conditions; and a huge elite of overpaid, public sector, unionized workers in safe pensionable jobs, will have untold consequences as the boom turns to burst in the coming years.
Aer Lingus is a glaring example of the 'have your cake and eat it' policy, of pork barrel politics.Fianna Fail were re-elected and now we begin to live with the consequences.
Ireland is clearly a nation of daily increasing stealth taxes to pay for ever worsening public services (Health etc). She needed a stout hearted Margareth Thatcher at the helm to control public spending and unions alike.She got Bert Ahern instead.
For now- and the foreseeable future-SIPTU, IMPACT,and the IFA still rule OK!
Now we know what that handshake was about.
You're welcome Bigfellah!
