Ryanair boss turns down Oireachtas invite but brands claims of Polish fare hikes as 'FALSE'

Many thousands have already made the journey to Ireland and commercial airlines were last month accused of “profiteering on the backs of human misery” as the price of flights from Poland to Ireland fluctuated due to increased demand.

Ryanair chief executive Eddie Wilson has told TDs and senators that claims the airline has raised prices for refugees on flights from Poland were 'FALSE' and “invented on social media”.

In a letter sent earlier this week to the Oireachtas joint committee on transport and communications, Mr Wilson said Ryanair and its staff “have gone to significant efforts” to support Ukrainians since the Russian invasion in February and would continue to do so into the future.
