Ryanair shares dip on back of High Court challenge loss

Airline disputed State's travel restriction advice measures

Ryanair has lost its High Court case against the State.

Ryanair shares fell nearly 2% on the back of it losing its High Court challenge against the Government’s travel restriction advice measures in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The airline had claimed they amounted to a legal restriction on travel in and out of the country. The State disputed those claims, arguing the measures are merely advisory and not binding in nature.
