Based on what’s been reported so far, what would be considered criminal activity under Irish law? If the same happened in the U.S., it would be subject to administrative and civil penalty.

The bigger PR nightmare for Ryanair may be trying to provide a plausible explanation for how this activity continued undetected for 18 months.

From the Irish Sun:

The senior airline source added: “No sexual acts came up in the investigation and there has been no police or Gardai investigation as yet.

"But Ryanair is understood to have told the women affected that if they wanted to pursue anything further with authorities they had the airline's full support."

A Dublin-based Irish Gardai source said there was currently no record of any complaints having been made relating to the alleged incidents.
