In March 2019, Naoise Connolly Ryan’s husband Mick Ryan was among 157 people who died when a Boeing 737 max aircraft crashed in Ethiopia. 

Mick Ryan was a senior engineer with the UN World Food Programme. It was the second fatal accident involving a Boeing max in five months. 

Since then, Naoise and other families have been trying to get justice for their lost loved ones. 

Boeing has offered all the bereaved families around €1.2m, but Naoise has turned that down and says she wants justice. 

So far, nobody of consequence has had to answer or a system in which profit was put ahead of passenger safety.
