TWEET: Is Ryanair’s controversial shot at Aer Lingus too much?

Joe Harrington

What do you make of this?

The Gardaí arrested three men today after launching an investigation on suspected immigration offences at Dublin Airport.

The full story is here, but two of the men that were arrested are employees of Aer Lingus who released a statement saying they’re “co-operating fully with an Garda Siochana.”

That detail apparently opened a door for Ryanair to swoop in and take a few swipes at their Irish airline rivals.

The first one was posted this afternoon.

A second was posted on Twitter this evening.

What do you think of that?

**UPDATE (9:50pm)**

A Ryanair spokesperson contacted JOE this evening with this brief comment on the story,”While everyone loves our low fares, our social media posts may not cater to all tastes.”
