Ryanair boss labels Irish ministers ‘dunces’ over Dublin Airport passenger cap

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has launched a fresh broadside against Irish Transport Minister Eamon Ryan as he blamed a passenger cap at Dublin Airport for blocking the airline’s growth. Mr O’Leary said Mr Ryan and his Green Party colleague Catherine Martin, the Minister for Tourism, are “dunces” who should leave politics if they do not act to remove the cap. Ryanair said while it expects to grow traffic at Ireland’s regional airports in Cork, Shannon and Knock, it cannot expand in Dublin due to a limit of 32 million passengers per year. The company said the cap limits its plan to grow its Irish traffic by 50% by 2030.
