Ryanair ‘will not say sorry’ to Davison over press release

RYANAIR’S head of communications Stephen McNamara told the High Court yesterday he would not apologise to former Miss World Rosanna Davison over a press release which she says branded her a racist.

Asked by Ms Davison’s counsel, Jim O’Callaghan, if he was prepared to apologise, having heard evidence in the case, Mr McNamara said “no”.

Mr McNamara said the release in question was published (on the airline website) following comments made by Ms Davison at a time when Ryanair was trying to raise money for charity by publishing a calendar featuring members of its staff.
