In Ireland, the Irish Times has recently reported that a High Court Judge has rejected claims by Ryanair that its pilots or their unions had engaged in bullying, intimidation or isolation of other pilots over conditions imposed by Ryanair related to training on new aircraft. The only evidence of bullying was by Ryanair itself, Mr Justice Thomas Smyth stated. He described as most onerous and bordering on oppression a condition requiring pilots to pay Ryanair 15,000 Euros for training on new aircraft in 2004. The 15,000 Euros was payable by pilots if they left the company within five years or if Ryanair was required to engage in collective bargaining within the same period.

The airline has also been ordered to pay court cost exceeding 1,000,000 Euros to the British and the Irish pilots union, following the ruling at the Dublin High Court, as they lost the case.

In addition the Judge also rejected as baseless and false the evidence of Ryanair director of personnel Eddie Wilson in relation to setting up the investigation and considered the evidence of Warwick Brady who was formerly with Ryanair in Stansted in 2004 to have given false evidence
