Mr. Paul Hackett:

We have submitted documents to Ryanair, through the Commission for Aviation Regulation and in consultation with the Department of Transport, in the last two weeks asking if we can proceed on this basis. The commission has set out its understanding of EU regulation 261/2004 so we would ask Ryanair to engage with the commission on the most recent correspondence it was sent, at the very end of September or start of October, with a view to resolving this. It is important that we resolve it. There is no point having a shouting match with the airlines.
