Walloon government sues Ryanair for €2.3m

THE Walloon government is suing Ryanair for around €2.3 million in the Irish courts, it emerged yesterday.

Belgian daily newspaper La Libre Belgique reported that Transport Minister Andre Antoine had introduced a legal complaint in Dublin on April 20.

It calls for the return of €2.3m - a part of the €15m which it gave to the Irish budget airline to woo it to Charleroi in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
