What this professional journalist failed to notice although it was staring him in the face and inconvenient to his pro ryanair rant was the price of oil and the general fall in irish shares which prompted the fall in most shares including ryanairs. As a shareholder in Aer Lingus myself I would welcome Ryanair selling their shares to allow an open market in the shares and a more representitive value on the company.I would welcome investors who want the company to survive and thrive for everyones benifit instead of a shareholder whos only interest is the destruction of Aer lingus for there own enrichment.
