Government grants and assistance During fiscal year 2021, many European countries in which the Ryanair Group operates made available payroll support schemes. The Group utilized a number of these employment retention schemes to protect jobs within the Group airlines. These schemes were a mix of short term Covid-19 specific programs and long-term schemes linked to social security that existed pre Covid-19. The total amount of payroll supports received by the Group under the various schemes amounted to approximately €84m and are offset against staff costs in the Consolidated Income Statement. In April 2020, the Group raised £600m unsecured debt for general corporate purposes under the HMT and Bank of England CCFF. The 0.44% interest rate was the prevailing rate for strong BBB rated companies. This debt was subsequently extended in March 2021 for a further 12 months at a 0.46% interest rate. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to government assistance at March 31, 2021.
