Ryanair has called for the chairman of the Dublin Airport Authority Gary McGann to be removed from his position claiming that his position is untenable.

Following the nationalising of Anglo Irish Bank, where Mr McGann was a non-executive director and chairman of the board’s audit sub committee, “Ryanair believes that Mr. McGann is no longer an appropriate person to chair the board of the DAA monopoly . . . ”

In a statement the airline said it “believes Mr. McGann’s position as chairman of the board of the DAA is untenable and if he is not willing to resign from this Government appointed role, then he should be dismissed”.
