Aer Lingus And Ryanair Are Having A Fr Ted War On Twitter… And It’s Hilarious

Aer Lingus and Ryanair are well-known for their 'friendly' banter on Twitter and it all kicked off between the two again this evening. The hilarious exchange began when Ryanair posted a photo in tribute to the 20th anniversary of iconic television series Fr Ted.

Aer Lingus also decided to use their connection to the Dermot Morgan-led series to mark the occasion and the resulting exchange between the pair is just brilliant!
