Ryanair rapped over ‘sexist’ advert

Ryanair has been rapped on the knuckles over an advertisement depicting a cabin crew member in lingerie.

The airline was one of seven advertisers sanctioned by the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) following complaints from the public.

In its latest bulletin, the ASAI revealed it had upheld complaints made against adverts for Irish Ferries, Eircom, Sky Ireland, Robert Roberts, the Dublin Mint Office, the Cosmedico Clinic and Ryanair.
