The Indo managed to predict this last Thursday

When it was revealed that O'Brien had recently registered a tax residency in Malta, Michael O'Leary was quick out of the traps with an ad (see illustration) taking the mick out of the telecoms billionaire.
Insiders say that O'Brien was very, very sore at the jibe.
Is he so angry that he'll raid the coin jar next to his bed and snap up '3pc or 4pc' of Aer Lingus himself?
O'Leary would then have to call and ask for forgiveness (and the shares).
Now that really would be a conversation worth hearing.
