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

That’s according to Aontú councillor Sarah Beasley who believes the shift will slowly erode people’s choice.

“This proposal is hugely discommoding and often very stressful for elderly people and further disenfranchises this demographic.

“However, I have to say it’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.

Her party plans to write to Ryanair in a bid to encourage the airline to change its mind about the planned move.
