Hi Slim,
Are you sure there is no change in policy? I travelled on 6 ryanair flights over the last week and did not see any new policy being implemented.

Ryanair reminds passengers of Cabin Baggage allowances
Ryanair, Europe’s largest and most punctual low fare airline today (11 July) reminded all passengers of its Cabin Baggage allowances in advance of the peak summer travel period.
Each passenger (excluding infants) is permitted to carry
one piece of cabin baggage on board (free of charge). It should weigh no more than 10kg and not exceed the maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Due to security restrictions, certain items cannot be carried in cabin baggage. We reserve the right to cancel any reservation without refund and deny boarding if a passenger arrives at the boarding gate with more than one item of cabin baggage or an item that exceeds the maximum dimensions. Infants do not qualify for a cabin baggage allowance (although a pram / buggy will be carried free of charge).
Restrictions apply to liquids, gels, pastes, lotions or cosmetics carried in hand baggage
Speaking today, Adrian Dunne, Ryanair’s Deputy Director Ground Operations said:
“We are again facing the busiest time of the year, where airports struggle to cope with the volume of hand baggage carried by some passengers. Ryanair’s simple but generous policy allows passengers to carry one piece of cabin baggage (inclusive) which must weigh no more than 10kg and not exceed the permitted dimensions. We will not allow anybody to exceed these permitted allowances, and will be rigidly enforcing our one bag rule this summer.
Passengers presenting themselves at a boarding gate should be warned, they will not be permitted to travel if they do not comply with this one bag rule.
