Worth getting out of bed for.

Not that she needs the money but it's good to see Ryanair taken to task on their bull****.

Bosco boy

Great! Might teach them a bit of manners in future!

bonerm

Ryanair fúck off. Davison fúck off. A pair of attention seeking whores. Give the 80k to charity and then get out of my sight.

Kev_ps3

edit for play to her, ryanair are muppets

LizT

I hate Ryanair and Rosanna Davidson equally. There is no possible outcome in this case that could satisfy me!

Morlar

The ryanair advertising dept. spin on this one could be interesting.

So being labelled a racist is a lot less serious than being accused of naked sleep walking.

That makes sense. Well done Irish Justice System.

That's because you're a fool who doesn't know what racism is.

Eh, the key point is she wasn't labelled a racist...

Why for saying there should be more Irish models used by an Irish company.

She got an off the cuff remark to a journalist and they went to town on her over it. Saying her comments 'bordered on racism' is enough to libel someone apparently. I don't really care about the story to be honest, but if I had to pick a side in that disagreement I'd have picked her side. Ryanair over-reacted in a nasty kind of a way and had multiple chances to avoid it becoming a court case. imo.

Any and all abuse, be it against other users or Ms Davison, will result in infractions etc.

An Irish company that employs people all over Europe.

Get this crap off of AH and over to Celebrity and Shitbiz where it belongs. I could have sworn we voted about this. :mad:

why ? she might be a Ge3bag but ryanair STUPIDLY called her a racist in a friggin press release !!!! how stupid was that , it was 80,000 euro stupid

and it will cost them a lot more on legal fees also , so bet this is going on to the price of a flight

she said " if she had organized it she would have more irish girls" , well
if I had to organized it i would have had all Brazilian goddesses instead of the grumpy orange face leprechauns they have working at the moment

dont know where they get them from - i would wager its a farm in sligo
and they are fed batter burgers and tango

But in fairness she cant be labeled a racist for saying they should use more Irish models.

Mr. Loverman

This thread could probably get her another 80k.

PS The publicity alone is probably worth more than 80k to Ryanair.

Obviously, or she wouldn't have won the court case. It's just that word again "begrudgery", which isn't illegal.:P

That would make it 79990 he owes her.

Chuck Stone

Justice was served imo.

Ryanair is the best thing to ever happen as regards civil aviation in Ireland/Europe - can't understand why people hate them so much.

super_furry

Why all the hate for her here?

Ryanair called her racist and jealous, she took them to task and the jury agreed with her. Don't see the problem myself.

touts

Careful lads. Don't think she (and her Daddy) won't come after anyone who says something they don't like here.

Eric Cartman

ryanair were dead right , she deserved nothing as it was definitley an elitist attitude towards ryanair

I would say mroe but theres a mod warning above ,

@MickeyDolenz - Is ryanair / mick oleary abuse in there too , just seems a little unfair to allow 1 sided abuse

UDAWINNER

Venting against the huge amount of a settlement.

Heres the winner, Ryanair and Rosanna Davison get mentions on the 6.01 news each night for the last week.

think of it: If Ryanair/Michael O'Leary went to RTE and asked them how much would it cost, to stop the news midway through the Main News of the day, so he could chuck on a 3 minute advert..... How much do you think he'd be quoted... now multiply that by 5 nights....

Alot more than 80k.....

A few things strange about this case if you ask me, Rosannna Davison, Ryanair, Chris de burgh and a troop of Cabin Crew (models) all get honourable mentions...

theres no such thing as bad publicity!

admiralofthefleet

she should do the right thing and donate it to charity, she proved her point

You can't personally abuse a company. But people within that company count, so yeah.

HER FATHER BOASTED THAT HE HAD SUED 16 TIMES AND WON THEM ALL ,I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE RESULT OF THIS CASE

That'll be another €80k so!
Please make cheque out to me, and I'll give to Ms. Davison.

Orbiter

I don't understand the hatred here for Rosanna Davison?? As far as I know she has never committed a terrible crime or hurt another human being, there's a lot of begrudgery in this isle. Pity really.

I think she stood up for herself and did it in a dignified way and won. Fair play to the justice system.....it worked this time. :rolleyes:

Well done to Davison and her daddy, taking a profitable Irish company that trades internationally, a company that is very important to our economy, to court over some complete bullshít.

Ryanair boasted they had been sued 35 times and won every single time.

Well, i guess they lost one now.

It's the first time that Ryanair's having to pay someone for a case.

_feedback_

Somebody sues Ryanair for saying bad things to public about her.

Thread here starts abusing her when she wins.

Careful now!

ohh here comes that word again, the AH word for when somebody has no clue what theyre talking about and are losing arguments ,

nobody is begrudging her in the slightest, regardless of who she is and what she does , some of us genuinely believe that her comments were elitist and bordered on racism , unfortunately a jury didnt agree.

Nice to see talentless rich kid winning against useless airjunk. It has a poetry to it.
Thats one less toilet roll per flight for us plebs.

Ryanair does not give a fcuk about 'our economy' it cares about profit for shareholders. Ireland is a small part of their market.
If Dublin routes suddenly became unprofitable, they would be dropped in a heartbeat.
RD took them to court because they refused to withdraw the original remark.
The court agreed with RD - what's wrong with that?

It's not the first time that courts have sided against Ryanair. Maybe judges have an agenda against them:rolleyes:

...did a diploma in PR and Event Management. She is also a newspaper columnist.

A friend of mine (granted he's 84) would argue long and hard about any of these being jobs!

It's still a profitable Irish company, they pay taxes here, they employ people here.

I'd say nobody would even remember the press release(s) involved if this hadn't gone to court.
