Ryanair protesters interrupt Ashes

The final day of the first Test match between Australia and England was interrupted when two protesters invaded the pitch waving a banner in protest at Ryanair's employment policies.
John Foley and Anthony Lea invaded the pitch during the 51st over in protest at Ryanair's supposed practice of charging new recruits for their training, only to terminate their contracts afterwards.
Foley 43, interrupted play for several minutes before 4 security guards wrestled him to the ground. Speaking afterwards, he said that the protest had been premeditated after his daughter had had her contract terminated by the airline.
