Irish Times - Ryanair Employment Model

"“It was known to the Revenue and done with their blessing,” says McNamara, who says his firm is no longer involved in supplying service companies for Ryanair pilots."

27 Sept - Interesting article in today's Irish Times newspaper about the Brookfield employment model. Over 70% of pilots in Ryanair are hired through complex limited company arrangements. To read the full article please visit the link.

"The system owes its nature to tax law, and the large cases division of the Irish Revenue was consulted at the time it was being devised, according to Liam McNamara, of McNamara & Associates.

...One of the key attractions of the system for Ryanair is that it shields it from the obligations created by employment law."
