He is an outspoken, take-no-bullshit, anti-bureaucracy, light-touch regulation, kind of guy.

A tale of two prominent racehorse owners (both Irish):
One lives in Geneva for financial self-interest, and pays no taxes in his native country.
The other lives in his birth country, and last year paid €11 million in taxes.

The former throws €50,000 to the Limerick hurling and footballing clubs, and he is hailed as a great fella.
The latter doesn't scarper off to some tax-haven to avoid his fiscal responsibilities, but is vilified by some because he often "tells it like it is".

Most other airlines wonder how to increase their fares; Ryanair tries to think of ways to reduces their's.
