Three in five people back Ryanair’s call for a two-drink limit at airport bars, according to the latest Red C poll published in the Business Post yesterday.

Should there be a two-drink limit at airport bars?

To discuss, guest host Anna Daly is joined by Pól Ó'Conghaile, Travel Editor at the Irish Independent, Marisa Mackle, former Flight Attendant and author of ‘Confessions of an Air Hostess’ as well as listeners.
