Ryanair, the world’s least favourite airline, are again moaning about the 10 euro tourist tax for passengers travelling to Ireland and again make the absurd claim that this tax is to blame for the fall in visitors to Ireland.
What a load of boring drivel. Do Ryanair honestly believe that a 10 euro tourist tax is going to make any difference to a passenger who is already being ripped off by being charged exorbitant fees by Ryanair themselves when making a booking?
Ryanair need to take a close look in the mirror and understand that any fall in passenger numbers is due to the ever increasing, hidden, possibly illegal and completely unfair charges that they add to every booking made with them.
Threatening to close down routes to/from Ireland as a result is the typically childish response one would expect from a prat like O’Leary. No surprises there.
Let’s hope the Irish government don’t bow to the demands of TurdAir and that they keep these fair taxes in place.
