A woman has settled her compensation claim for falling down the steps of a Ryanair plane for an undisclosed sum.

Malgorzata Jeneralczyk (57), from Poznan, Poland slipped on the wet steps of a plane as she was disembarking it at Dublin airport.

She suffered a laceration to her left eyebrow and bruising to her body as a result of the fall. Ms Jeneralczyk sought legal advice and made a compensation claim against Ryanair for what she believed was a failure by the company to provide a passenger with safe transit. Ryanair disputed the claim but shortly before the hearing was due to begin, the court heard the claim had been settled.
