Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

A 0% holding gives the State absolutely no say whatsoever yet that is what the Government proposes. A Minister serving in Government on an island nation proposes that the State should have a 0% holding and no influence over what was once the national airline. Michael O'Leary of Ryanair holds 29% of Aer Lingus. He is a vocal shareholder indeed.

I am not a fan of Michael O'Leary or the Ryanair approach, but I wish to goodness the Government would take a leaf out of his book in terms of being vocal.
