I do not know if untruths were told or not. The fact that persons have been forced to retract their statements and "admit" their lies does not mean they lied.
One thing it does mean is that Ryanair have a lot more money than them.
Unfortunately there are quite a few people (including on here) who detest Ryanair. They will believe anything negative irrespective of the source.
Even when it is unproven or impossible to have occurred they will still keep up an irrational view that as its Ryanair then it must be true.
If as some are suggesting that some of the people are really lying now to keep lawyers happy then at what point in time will you know truth is being told ?
