Stan McCarthy is to become the chair of the Ryanair board of directors in 2020, I see.

The former Kerry Group CEO will first become deputy chair in April of this year, before moving on to the role of chair in the summer of 2020. McCarthy joined the board in May 2017.

Meanwhile, I note Angus cattle breeder Michael O’Leary has agreed a new five-year contract as group CEO of the airline.
