Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary is on the lookout for an assistant who has the patience of a saint and can massage his ego from time to time. The successful candidate will (ideally) be a fairly decent accountant and be an expert in "general drudgery" - but they must NOT be a cyclist.
If Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary wasn’t the cycling public’s number one fan for comments he made in an interview earlier this year, he did nothing to endear himself to the lycra-clad folk today.
The outspoken, multi-millionaire didn’t waste an opportunity to put the boot into cyclists when the company advertised a job deemed ‘the worst job in Ireland’.
The vacancy is for an assistant to work with the company’s “misunderstood but beloved CEO” but those interested cannot be Manchester United fans, Dubs or cyclists.

In fact, he went as far as saying that if the successful applicant is any of these three they will be “tracked down, tortured and shot”.
The tongue-in-cheek advertisement received much attention when it was shared on the Ryanair’s social channels.
Among the requirements are a thick skin, saint-like patience, aversion to bolloxology, own collection of nursery rhymes/bedtime stories, ability to operate without sleep or contact with the outside world as well as (ego) massage qualifications.
