Ryanair Issues

This is from the front page of todays Evening Herald 28/12/2010

A Nine month old baby was hospitalised after being stuck on a Ryanair plane for over 5 hours.

The child and its 3 year old sibling ended up in Temple Street Childrens hospital suffering from dehydration

Their ordeal began after a Christmas flight from Dublin to Eindhoven in HOlland was cancelled because of heavy snow, but passengers were kept waiting on baord.

After 3 hours their father asked if he could buy a sandwich for his 3 year old was was 'shaking from hunger' he told the Herald.

However, he was informed it is 'not comppany policy to sell food while the plance was grounded'

The children were so tired, hungry and deyhdrated following the mammoth delay that they had to be taken by ambulance from Dublin airport.

Now, my question is:

Are Ryanair cabin crew that scared for their jobs that they wont aid a baby?
Are Ryanair managment that strict that they would rather a baby be removed to hospital that give them water?
Is the Captain not informed of anything anymore.

I know that even bad press is good press, but how long can these types of stories continue before they actually affect the bottom line?
