Nomination Committee
Messrs. Bonderman, O’Leary and McLaughlin are the members of the Nomination Committee. The
Nomination Committee assists the Board in ensuring that the composition of the Board and its Committees is
appropriate to the needs of the Company by:
assessing the skills, knowledge, experience and diversity required on the Board and the extent to which
each are represented;
establishing processes for the identification of suitable candidates for appointment to the Board; and
overseeing succession planning for the Board and senior management.
The role and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee are set out in its written terms of reference,
which are available on the Company’s website www.ryanair.com. The terms of Reference of the Nomination
committee are reviewed annually.
Air Safety Committee
The Board of Directors established the Air Safety Committee in March 1997 to review and discuss air
safety and related issues. The Air Safety Committee reports to the full Board of Directors each quarter. The
Air Safety Committee is composed of Mr. Horgan (who acts as the chairman), as well as the following
executive officers of Ryanair: Messrs. Conway, Hickey, O’Brien and Wilson.
Code of Business Conduct
Ryanair’s standards of integrity and ethical values have been established and are documented in
Ryanair’s Code of Business Conduct. This code is applicable to all Ryanair employees. There are established
channels for reporting code violations or other concerns in a confidential manner. The Head of Internal Audit
investigates any instances and reports findings directly to the Audit Committee. The Code is available on the
Companys website, www.ryanair.com.
