Ryanair staff can earn up to €80 a month in bonuses for catching passengers with oversized luggage.
It comes after around 200,000 Ryanair passengers were hit with a €75 fine last year, and it has now emerged that staff can earn €1.50 for every oversized bag they catch.
The airline said the scheme helps reduce delays, but insists most passengers follow the rules.
Consumer Affairs Correspondent, Conor Pope, doubts the policy will put people off from flying with Ryanair.
Speaking on Newstalk, he said: "They have rules. They're not considered the most friendly airline in the world, but people know what they're getting, and they're happy with the service that Ryanair provides, generally speaking."
