Ryanair CEO Michael O Leary refused to apologise to a rape crisis centre that criticised his comments describing rival airlines as “high-fare rapists.” Ireland’s deputy premier and the UK transport secretary said the language was inappropriate for victims. O Leary said he would not apologise or accept training, arguing he had not trivialised rape and that he would “offend” others regularly.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
