DAA board should be sacked instead of chief executive, O’Leary says

The board overseeing Dublin Airport should be sacked instead of DAA chief Kenny Jacobs, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary has said. Mr O’Leary made the suggestion as he also took swipes at the “do-nothing Government” of Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris in a lengthy press conference to launch the airline’s winter schedule on Thursday. The comments come amid a reported rift between the DAA board and Mr Jacobs, which could see him receive an exit package of up to €1.2 million. Mr O’Leary said it would be more cost-effective to remove the board and keep the chief executive in his post. Mr Jacobs previously worked as Ryanair’s chief marketing officer.
