Truth and Ryanair ‘uncomfortable bedfellows’

THE truth and Ryanair are “uncomfortable bedfellows” in light of the latter’s conduct in challenging proposed new charges at Dublin Airport for the five years up to 2014, a High Court judge said yesterday.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly made his remarks considering “Ryanair’s untruths to the court, its untruths about the court and its untruths about the Minister [for Transport Noel Dempsey]”.

Factual misstatements in affidavits put by Ryanair before the court had “misled the court in a material way“, he noted.
