Refunds from Ryanair
I am very glad to read that Ryanair has agreed to refund any departure tax that it collected in error and I welcome Michael Cawley's confirmation to this effect (November 22).
This is precisely what I sought from the beginning and this is why I brought this issue to public attention through my weekly column in The Times after several passengers contacted me about the matter.
I hope that Ryanair will not charge any fee whatsoever for processing requests for refunds given that this tax was collected in error on its part.

It is the government who should give the refund not just since 01st nov,2008 but since 01st May,2004!Any airline has merely been acting as tax collectors for the government and it is the government-NOT AN AIRLINE-who is the beneficiary of funds collected against this illegal levy,which if illegal after 01st Nov. was illegal after 01st May,2004
