photo From the Irish Independent, “Angry eco warrior hijacks Ryanair’s AGM”:

CLIMATE change campaigners gave the master of the zany photo-op, Michael O’Leary, a taste of his own medicine when they hijacked Ryanair’s AGM to launch a boisterous attack on his environmental record.
Leading the charge was a topless Rob Mac from Lahinch, in Co Clare, who had the message “exposing Michael O’Leary’s lies” emblazoned in black paint across his chest.
Striding towards the podium as the airline boss was starting his speech, the eco-warrior declared CO2 emissions from aircraft are negating all other efforts to cut greenhouse gases.
A bemused Mr O’Leary retorted that his prize herd of 400 cattle probably emit more CO2 than one aircraft and that he’d give up an aircraft quicker.
After a good-natured exchange and having made his point, the semi-nude activist left the conference room of the Radisson Hotel, at Dublin Airport, and joined his fellow campaigners who included a pair of “eco-clowns”.
