  1. “I grew up on a farm. My parents, I was very fortunate. They sent me to a very good school in Ireland, but run by the Jesuits who teach you, who pretend to be humble, but teach their students humility and hard work, went to work in Trinity College in Delton, went to KPMG, hated accountancy, started, went out on my own buying and selling small businesses, newsagents at that stage, and then started working for the Ryan family, who at the time were one of the wealthiest families in Ireland, and had set up the aircraft leasing business. They'd made so much money in the aircraft leasing business, they decided to do something philanthropic and give it all back. And to do that, they set up a low-cost airline in Ireland back in the early 1980s, which rapidly lost as much money as they were making in aircraft leasing.”

  2. “I always like, I mean, A, because we've had two years of god-awful computer meetings and Skype meetings and all that horrible stuff. And it's great to be back on the roadshow physically meeting investors. We've had very good half-year results. And so we have eight teams on the road, meeting investors, fund managers. And it's also nice to get out and also meet people.”

  3. “I tell the airports that you need to lower your costs. There is huge growth available out there, particularly in a post-COVID recovery period. And that Ryanair, with over 150 new aircraft deliveries over the next four years, is the only airline in Europe that can deliver you that remarkable growth.”

  4. “Oh, I'd say probably at least 10 a Yeah, now most of my letters are generally to airports, government tourism ministers these days, less so to fund managers. But, you know, we're always trying to push the Ryanair brand and our growth story.”

  5. “I do. Generally speaking, to fund managers, but usually of them asking why they're not investing in Europe's leading low-cost airline”
