Ryanair has dismissed claims made in French newspaper Le Figaro and elsewhere this week that it has been charged by French prosecutors with illegal working practices.
Media reports currently circulating say that the low-cost airline is facing prosecution after declaring 120 employees in Marseille as working in Ireland, thus their tax, social security and pensions payments being made there.
The reports say unions lodged a complaint against the airline, saying that employees living in France should be declared in France.
Back in May Ryanair was taken to task over this issue but said that under the EU Transport Workers Regulations it was within its rights to register the French workers in Ireland as they were working on Irish planes, which counted as Irish territory.
A spokesman for the airline said: “Ryanair has not received anything from the French authorities and is therefore not in a position to comment on speculation.”
