Bit harsh!
I think she was just very upset

I'm sure she was. But it's time to get over it now and chalk it down to a bad experience.

Suing for hurt feelings in farcical. Sh1t happens to all of us, we find it difficult to accept that sometimes a misfortune we experience may be partially down to our own mistakes or oversights.

Is there much media covering this, I saw a Times article and one on the guardian, I thought the Journal would be all over this...I think a few are questioning her tale

The girl comes across quite delicate and fragile just going by her presence online. A little naive too. I wouldn't be sending her abuse, just pointing out where she's wrong not
notifying in advance.

I don't want to lay into her and add to her upset, but I think there's a lesson to be learned here on her end.

Perhaps she comes from a background where she was indulged quite a lot due to her disability, and can't process the criticism.

Agree but... and yes she has to learn. As we all have to do in similar situations. If she is fairly new to using a wheelchair especially. It is a hard thing to get used to in many ways

Seems the story has gone very quiet - I'm guessing she's dropping it or someone told her to keep shut

Must also mean that the solicitor Trinity SU were apparently dealing with is no longer involved. I wonder if the SU has pulled their support?

This is crazy if the TCDSU are/were providing support for nonsense like this.

So I presume the SU, The fashion soc and anyone else who tried to cost Ryanair business will retract their statement and offer an official apology to Ryanair right?

Any decent solicitor would tell her that she doesn't have a case.

I hope she gets nothing, except an invoice for legal fees.

If she doesn't get a slap in the face this time, next time she may attack a family owned B&B who depends on it for their livelihood. She wants to play with the big dogs, let her get bitten when she fecks up!

She appears to have roped in a TD as well - FFer James Lawless brought it up in the Dáil on Wed. Facebook Link

I obviously fully support the ratification of the convention but there was no need for her irrelevant "sob story" to be mentioned at all

Feck that. Ryanair considers all publicity to be good publicity, especially one like this. Michael O'Leary will be rubbing his hands in glee.

meeeeh

The TD obviously does not have the full story. This will lead to major embarrassment later.

When exactly? This thing is yesterday's news already. It's not like a week later anyone will care one way or the other.

What's in Ryanair's corporate-social responsibility policy?

They have a responsibility to the rest of their passengers on that plane to operate the service on time, this means having the plane depart using the allocated departure slot provided to it, this is achieved through a set of clear terms and conditions which customers follow in order to load the plane on time. In the case of the complainant she was fully outside the terms which were there to easily facilitate her if she simply followed them, the airline went out of their way to put her on the next flight, can't ask for more than that for someone who clearly has an issue with basic rules.

they are only rules, hardly the end of the world if she supposibly broke them. it's ryanair, not the law. who gives a damn.
as i said, the people making an issue over her are on a par with her. had people not made an issue of this the story would have gone ages ago.

Tell that to the person who is trying to make a connecting flight or has some other appointment that can't be delayed by half an hour plus to facilitate her.

The airplanes have a tight schedule and she cant show up 13 minutes before take off expected to be facilitated

No, it wasn't the end of the world for anyone except her that she broke them.

Most airlines don't give a fiddler's **** if you follow their rules or not - the plane is leaving anyway, with or without you. If you didn't follow their rules, it'll be without you.
