So - you want Aer Lingus to be independent of Ryanair (presumably), yet you find payments to Goldman Sachs to be abhorrent.
Tell me, what exactly do you think Goldman Sachs did for this money? Starting with the hundreds of professionals in M&A who would have dropped everything to work on Aer Lingus all night for a period of weeks, resulting in a successful defence of the airline (nevermind that the document was flawed - it was successful).
Do you think these chaps listed acted alone? If so, you are totally incorrect - the names are only those of the MDs and directors who work on the transaction - below them are VPs, Associates and Analysts - who form the bulk of the headcount at investment banks - who were all working hard for you independence.
Don't attack the city if you don't have a clue what you are talking about!!
