The biggest problem in trying to understand the inner workings within Ryanair is that it is tending to go more and more for contractors. Each one of them could concievably have different terms and conditions. You need to bear that in mind when people post on pprune saying that information is a year out of date. Very few people will be in a position to know what the various T&C's are across the entire pilot group. You also have separate contracts for pilots who are employed by Ryanair and these will undoubtedly vary depending on the joining date.
The only real way of knowing is to get a copy of the latest contract on offer and then come back with specific questions to see if they are trying a fast one or not.
