I ask Mr. Wilson about the change fee in Ryanair. Yesterday evening, I got an email from a constituent and I asked her if I could outline her case. She has not replied yet so I will anonymise it. Essentially, it was very attractive, costing approximately €1,000 for her to fly out of Shannon on a Ryanair flight to sunny Spain but the change fee Mr. Wilson's airline is applying is €870. I will repeat that. The cost of the flight is €1,000. The change fee is €870. Will Mr. Wilson comment on the ethics of that? It is screwing people to charge that amount to administratively change names and dates on a ticket.
