This is pleasant news.
I like the harp logo on the Ryanair planes. Isn't it the official symbol of Ireland? (As opposed to the kitschy shamrock on Aerlingus jets.)

Good point - I always thought the same thing, Ryanair's harp over Aer Lingus' shamrock! Yes, the harp is the official emblem, in fact I think the shamrock hasn't any official status.

Your point illustrates one other thing - Ryanair is the true flagship airline of this country!!

BTW, speaking of Irish airlines, Aer Lingus has been privatised (at last):

Ireland approves Aer Lingus privatization

Ireland Ping!
