The Daily PollAER LINGUS IS considering an increased offer for the company from IAG valuing it at €1.3 billion.
The decision to accept the offer would be down to the Aer Lingus shareholders, of whom Ryanair and the Irish Government have a veto as the largest of those.
The protection of Aer Lingus slots at Heathrow has been prioritised by the Government as part of any deal.
The Aer Lingus brand would be kept, just as Iberia remain Spain’s national carrier as part of the IAG group.
Today’s poll, Would you support the sale of Aer Lingus?

@Gerrard: Actual LOL
@Gerrard: you are over 40 aren’t you Gerry
@Daniel Wilson: ah here I’m well over 40 and I know about climate change:)
@Gerrard: If you keep telling yourself that you can live as you want with a clear conscience.
@Gerrard: More heat = MORE storms and more rain.
Especially for a country beside an ocean.
The reason is if you heat up a body of water you get evaporation followed by precipitation.
That’s what the science says.
@Gerrard: they want to keep up makey uppy taxes like carbon tax to keep us downtrodden people in line.we are the only species that have to pay taxes to live on this lump of rock that revolves around the sun!!!
@tuco: I demand we tax the birds!!!
@Gerrard: fantastic knowledge of Climate Change. Great to see you’ve done your research.
@Gerrard: even if it could be just natural change but it too big of a risk to just ignore it
@Daniel Wilson: I’m
Over 40 Daniel and I think Gerrad May be talking out of his ozone
@Daniel Wilson: Bit unfair to many 40+ year olds. I think David Attenborough is a tad over 40.
Hose pipe ban coming so cos we have too much water and may add to flooding if we use it…..sorry just imagining what the next excuse for Irish water to pop their heads into the media for
It has been raining for two days now. Personally, I love the sound of it and the smell of fresh earth. I am as happy as the proverbial at the moment. The dog hates it though…Never slept better.
@willow moon: petrichor. I love it too.
@willow moon: Its lovely in the winter, listening to it when in front of a warm fire but not in the middle of the summer!
@Jim Buckley Barrett: why its sounds the same all year round no
@willow moon: Did you see their propaganda programme on Virgin TV last night? It’s not Irish Water’s fault apparently.
The more covid restrictions that are lifted, the worse the weather is getting.
@Patrick O Connell: bring back the restrictions and the warm sunshine … I jest of course but I hope the sun is not waiting for the second coming of the covid-19 wave.
Glorious morning in Donegal.
Where’s the hose ??.
@Peter Kelly:
I’m getting me hosepipe out later!
@Joe Toner: It’s hosing here at the mo.
Don’t need the hosepipe.
Now will ye listen to Greta and Sir David
@Thomas Corrigan: I don’t think climate change is of immediate concern at this present moment in time when the world has a coronavirus pandemic.
@Jonny: Hah! If you think the death and disruption from Covid-19 is bad you *really* won’t like what’s coming our way from climate change. This is a temporary emergency – climate collapse will be irreversible and ever-worsening. The only time to act is now.
@Jonny: you might find a cure /Vaccine for this epidemic but there is no cure or Vaccine that can reverse the changes taking place on the planet. Wants it’s gone. ITS. G O N E
