I also note (as was the case in the Knock incident) that the occurrence date and reporting date were almost a couple of weeks apart.
This pattern has occurred in numerous other ryanair incidents. In all the very serious incidents in the past couple of years, no CVR data has been recovered. Considering that the data monitoring makes the incident known to the company immediately, it is striking that ryanair seems only to report incidents when forced to - in this case because half of Cork were disturbed from their BBQ.
Makes one wonder what else hasn't been reported. Does anyone else find it truly disturbing that the "safety culture" perpetuated by ryanair seems to operate on the premise that even the most serious incidents are not reported until they can be covered up no longer? Even more shocking (but, based on the record so far, not exactly unbelievable) the IAA find this behaviour acceptable.
