Ryanair fails to win costs against State over travel tax

Ryanair is not, at this stage, entitled to certain legal costs relating to its bid to get judgment against the State for millions it says it overpaid in air travel tax, the High Court has ruled.

Ryanair claimed it was entitled to judgment against the Revenue Commissioners and the Minister for Finance over delays in complying with court orders that they provide information that the airline said it required to progress its case.

The application became moot last month when the State provided the required information.
