Totally and completely agree. The Irish regulators are a disgrace, more Third World than Western European. Lets hope the CAA will stand firm and one day insist that Ryanair operate to the same standards as the UK operators or prevent them from using UK airspace. Fat chance.
Everybody in the industry knows what is going on but the regulators just keep turning a blind eye. When the fateful day comes the hundreds of posts on this and many other websites will haunt those who had the power to keep aviation safe. I'm ashamed to be Irish when I think of Ryanair.
