RYANAIR

Ryanair has been ordered to pay €60,001 (£45,000) in damages after French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his new wife Carla Bruni sued the airline for using a picture of the couple in an ad.
The couple sued Ryanair last week after an advertisement for cut-price tickets appeared in Le Parisien newspaper featuring a photo of the couple.
Ryanair's ad featured a cartoon bubble above Bruni carrying the line: "With Ryanair, my whole family can come to my wedding."
Following the news that the pair were taking court action over the campaign, Ryanair issued a statement last week apologising for offence caused and promising not to run the ad again.
