Ryanair apologises for blocking media from attending AGM

Spokesperson said the decision was taken this morning

Reporters were told they were being brought to a media room and that Chief Executive Michael O'Leary would speak to them after the AGM concluded.

Ryanair apologised today for blocking media access to its Annual General Meeting, saying it happened by mistake, but said it would continue to prevent access to one journalist from an Irish newspaper.

Reporters who understood they were being brought to the Annual General Meeting room, which is normally open to the press, were told they were being brought to a media room instead for a post-AGM briefing by Chief Executive Michael O'Leary.
