Description

Ryanair is to create 300 new jobs in Ireland, ranging from pilots and cabin crew to customer service and software developers, with a route expansion plan for 2014. 

The airline is expecting to add an extra 700,000 passengers to the current number of passengers that fly with Ryanair.

As reported, Ryanair chief executive, Michael O'Leary said the Government's decision to scrap the travel tax in Budget 2014 was key to this expansion.
