Ryanair, the largest minority shareholder in the Irish carrier with a 9.8%stake, has tabled three motions at the Aer Lingus AGM next month. It has also called for support form other shareholders including the Irish transport minister and the Aer Lingus Employee Shore Option Trust (ESOT). The resolutions call for Mr Barrington's fee to be cut from "to the €35,000 fee paid by Aer Lingus to its previous Non Executive Chairman in 2006", for fees paid to no executive directors reduced to €17,500 and for an end to bonuses for retiring directors. The LCC said these fees were being paid at a time when Aer Lingus had reported post-tax losses of €108m for 2008, was predicting losses of in 2009 and whose share price had fallen from €1.60 in January to €0.60 in May. It said directors receiving these payments could not "credibly" lead a cost cutting programme at Aer Lingus.
