I just wanted to see others reaction to O' Leary on the Last Word tonight...and on various news casts throughout the day.
I have to say I fully agree with what he was saying. Nothing to do with Ryanair...the man just talked sense. The political hacking going on surrounding climate change is taking away from the very serious debate that needs to happen.
I also had to agree with his points on public transport. The idea that our government is doing everything they can to get people onto public transport is just nonsense and the sooner people realise that the better. That's why people get into their cars more and more each year. The idea of a train to the airport is also a stupid one. Realistic and well thought out solutions are what this country (and the world) needs to combat emmissions....not silly soundbites from broken down politicians about everyone walking and cycling to work. Who dreams up these fiascos waiting to happen?
Lastly...he is also behind Nuclear energy...another subject after my own heart. Isn't it incredibly disheartening that our own government have seemingly passed a law banning the building of any reactor in Ireland?!! This can only be down to ignorance based on old nuclear energy as opposed to the fourth generation reactors now being built!! I suppose it will take us many, many years before we cop onto ourselves...no doubt we'll end up following the examples led by other European countries in the years to come.
