It is grossly negligent for a national broadcaster to report on Ryanair’s profit margins without once mentioning emissions, given it is one of Europe’s biggest CO₂ emitters.
This is not journalism. It is head in the sand reporting with a generous helping of free corporate PR.

Musk row a negotiation that became a 'PR gift' - O'Leary
Ryanair's spat with Elon Musk was a "public negotiation that turned into a huge PR gift", according to group CEO Michael O'Leary.

A deeply unserious government
Delaying the 2026 Climate Action Plan is deeply concerning. Efforts are already way off-track & the CAP is the main tool for closing the delivery gap this decade. Saying we must wait for post-2030 carbon budgets is conceptually backwards - delay now makes future targets harder and more expensive.
The annual Climate Action Plan is delayed again this year

'Flying less is the second most effective action individuals can take to reduce emissions and climate impact'.
So why on earth is the Irish Government actively encouraging even more polluting flights via a proposed lifting of the Dublin Airport cap and re-introducing internal flights to Derry?
