You two heroes are completely forgetting something. It wasn't I who invented the line about O'Leary saving Irish Tourism. He plastered it all over the national newspapers when announcing his new base in the backwoods of western Germany.
So don't get so defensive of his bona fides. He has none, as you've pointed out, thereby confirming his expensive propaganda campaign to be the pack of lies that it is.

As to the style and contempt you refer to DW11, O'Leary has contempt and righteous indignation down to a fine art. He showed utter contempt for the many people about to lose their jobs in Aer Lingus.
I think you're making a glaring miscalculation if you believe you can compare the incompetence of certain state agencies with the sleaze and corruption of our politicians and so called 'businessmen'. The fact that you're prepared to draw a parallel at all just goes to show how twisted Irish society has become.

I'll tell you one thing. The only way O'Leary will get his free run is over the dead body of Fianna Fail.

If that makes me a socialist, then I'm proud to be called one. But I'd rather be called a Republican Nationalist.
