This thread went off topic very quickly.
As with anything to do with Ryanair it seems any reader has to do a lot of reading between the lines. Even the Irish media under-play the significance of the courts findings.
Make no mistake this was a huge victory for IALPA. Well done to all involved and particularly to the Fr guys who are seeing the benefit of standing up for themselves.
A poster mentioned the possiblilty of Ryanair upping sticks and moving to another licensing authority. There is zero chance of that. Think of the comfortable corporate tax climate in Ireland and the head in the sand Authority and you can see it will never happen. Also I'm no accountant but Ryanair's accounts show a liability of €117m in deferred tax which may be perfectly normal but then again may not.
