It will be a cold day in hell before Michael O'Leary gives a hoot about 300 jobs in Ireland or anywhere else.
Thats crap. You may not like him or respect him but he built up that company from nothing creating thousands of jobs along the way. Of course he wants the best deal for the company. Thats his job and is no different to any other employer
I do like Michael O'Leary and admire him for doing what he has done with Ryanair but to claim that wanting the hangar is about anything other than profit for Ryanair is laughable.
You're putting words in my mouth/post there Sunny. I never said that there is any law against making a profit.
But lets not pretend that O'Leary wants to create 300 jobs - he wants to make a profit.
He is merely using the media in an attempt to bully the government and the DAA
If he was serious about creating the 300 jobs then why not take up the government offer of a new custom-built hangar, the building of which will also create jobs incidentally.

Intel only want to make a profit but we would bow at their feet if they announced 300 jobs are to be created.
The real question is did the DAA know that Ryan Air were sniffing around hanger 6
The terms of the arrangement between the DAA and Aer Lingus need to be made public. Something is not right about the whole thing. There is no way that Aer Lingus is leasing that hanger on commercial terms.
It's getting clearer Hangar 6 would have been a terminal.
Sounds closer to the truth.This is only a rumour put about by someone with a vested interest in the status quo. DAA could have included a clause in the lease stating that the hangar could not be used as a terminal.
This is all about the unions who dominate Aer Lingus/DAA. The unions do not want those former members in SRT to go over the fence to be employed by non-union Ryanair. Aer Lingus/DAA/Government will put out all sorts of rumours about Ryanair's motives.
It's a disgrace.
If Ryanair wanted the hangar so badly then ................
