Safety culture within No-Frills Airlines

Re: today's warning of disciplinary action against Ryanair pilots: I read in the Times (London) that Capt Evan Cullen from the Irish Airline Pilots Association is concerned about the pressure Ryanair (and presumably the other no-frills brigade) puts on staff to meet the 25min turnaround target.
I'm wondering: does this lead to corners being cut? Are pilots and crews under too much pressure? any specific incidents come to mind?
I'm a journalist working for the BBC's Radio Investigations Unit. Any replies naturally treated in strictest confidence, and don't worry about staying anonymous.
Best wishes
