They are everywhere now that we have been graced new 'Irish Daily Mail' just for little Irelanders! Actually it just sounds like a nice tight visual approach. For those not in the know they're quicker, hence RYR interest, and more fun. Last time I got a jumpseat in a Ryan it was a visual, with the GPWS harping on about the glideslope all the way down.
I saw something similar once near Dublin though. Sitting in a factory canteen with big picture windows just by the OM for 10. People were used to airliners passing by. But one day the canteen hubbub was silenced and everyone stared when a Ryanair 737 first appeared to heading straight for the factory then banked hard left to get on the centreline. It was mighty impressive.
