About time and I can see some repercussions.

Best answers:

• No doubt the Poisonous Leprechaun will respond by pulling his flights out of Italy.
  Now we just need to get the new Lib-Con government to fine them
• I trust they will be doing the same to the other airlines that failed in this respect?
• This news has really cheered me up today.
• Ryanair had a lot to do with cheap flgihts in Europe - that much is undeniable.
  But to think they were solely responsible is a little strong. In that respect we have more to thank to Southwest over the pond than Ryanair.
• ok guys back to the story, this is great news if only a little odd. Ryanair have said they will pay out, KLM AF on the other hand wont make such statements and not one passenger has had a refund as yet. Hope that Ryanair are only the first one to be fined.
• I hope they get fined by every eu state and go bankrupt. That would teach them.
  Well obviously O'leary would still be a multi millionaire, flights would either get dearer or just not be there, and the compensation wouldn't be paid out, but it would teach him a lesson that you can't mess with the eu.
