Allowing the people to board in the first instance is against the ANO and as such I don't think Ryanair has a leg to stand on, Worse than this they have a legal duty to ensure the safety of the passengers and crew.. if this were the US there would be streams of court cases following this event. Of course its small beer ( forgive the pun) but again free publicity for Ryanair. the " caring airline"
So do tell me the training everyone will be given to spot drunkeness ?
My poor friend following a stroke slur his words, can be slightly unsteady on his feet if standing for to long, cann not drink because of health.
Now have been with him where had I not known better that he was drunk, been with him where a Police officer said exactly the same, until medical alert bracelet shown, Cop apologised and lets face it it was a town centre where drunks are common. So even with his training and experience people will make mistakes.
