Ryanair is inviting applications for what it describes as the “worst job in Ireland”.

The lucky candidate will manage a wide range of issues, from “general drudgery” to “MOL-ly coddling”, as assistant to CEO Michael O’Leary.

As well as being a qualified accountant, the successful applicant will have an “aversion to bolloxology” and their “own collection of nursery rhymes/bedtime stories”, according to the job ad on the Ryanair website.

The ability to “operate without sleep or contact with the outside world” is also crucial.

The ad sounds like it could have been written by Mr O’Leary himself; the outspoken Irish businessman is no stranger to controversy, having sounded off about everyone from travel agents to celebrities in the past.

He is responsible for quotes such as “Germans will crawl bollock-naked over broken glass to get low fares” and “All flights are fuelled with Leprechaun wee and my bullshit”.

The payscale of the Dublin-based role has not yet been disclosed, but the ad’s closing note warns: “Dubs fans, Man U supporters and cyclists will not only be automatically excluded from the process, but will be tracked down, tortured and shot.”
