Ryanair have this morning posted an update (of sorts) on their website:
Updated: Friday 25th May 10:00hrs
As a result of the suspension of the aerodrome licence of City of Derry Airport by the UK CAA, the airport is closed to all commercial flights today - (Fri 25th May). We are advised that discussions are now taking place between City of Derry Airport and the UK CAA; however it remains possible that further flights maybe cancelled.
An update will be provided again today at 17:00 hours, dependent on the outcome of discussions between the CAA and City of Derry Airport.
City of Derry Airport have posted on their website some news under the banner of Temporary Suspension of Airport Licence:

City of Derry Airport Authority has been advised by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) that it must suspend operations for scheduled flights from midnight tonight, Thursday 24th May. This is in place while variations to safety regulations are being reviewed by the CAA and the Airport Authority.

Beautiful language so far, sadly lacking in presentation of any pertinent fact leading to the suspension (that's my own update).
