In fact, all the Irish carriers have a no CD rule, it's been imposed by the IAA.
I've seen all sorts of strange effects caused to avionics by Cell phones, and the comments here bear that out very clearly.
Problem is that some of the airlines are now giving out mobiles to the crew so that they can call Ops back at home when there's a delay or problem at an outstation, which is fine till the Captain forgets to switch HIS mobile off before departure, and yes, it's happened
