All highly entertaining, but soon afterwards the entire thread was deleted from LinkedIn. And we presume Drennan went back to catching the bad guys.No more tweets about baggage allowances or window seats for Michael Corcoran, who departed as head of social and creative content at Ryanair on Wednesday after three months’ gardening leave.
Corcoran says he already has 12 months’ worth of partners signed up, including a major Irish retailer and a utilities company in the UK, and is in talks with a low-cost airline, among others. So we can only wish bon voyage to Dervla McKay, previously of Aircoach, who has taken over the wheel as managing director of Go-Ahead Ireland. The company now runs 30 routes, including five Dublin commuter routes, and says its fleet of 225 buses plus 760 staff serves 14 million passengers a year.
“There has been a minor decrease in the amount of original content published,” he says. “But that has been offset by an increase in resharing content. So people are still there, but their activity has changed.”
