MOVES by Ryanair to digitise its boarding passes is a “deeply retrograde” move which will cause undue stress to many passengers.

Thatโ€™s according to Aontรบ councillor Sarah Beasley who believes the shift will slowly erode peopleโ€™s choice.

โ€œThis proposal is hugely discommoding and often very stressful for elderly people and further disenfranchises this demographic.

“However, I have to say itโ€™s not just elderly people who have an aversion to technology, lots of people do and this is adding a huge unnecessary layer to travelling, which has already become so stressful. Has this been thought out all?’ she asked.
