Ryanair said in a statement it “had reached agreement with FORSA union and its Irish pilots committee on behalf of Republic of Ireland-based pilots.”
It added that it “will take these proposals to its board in due course after the Irish-based pilots have voted on this signed agreement. The mediator, Kieran Mulvey, has asked both sides to refrain from further comment until the ballot has concluded and we will respect his wishes.”
