Scanning of boarding passes at security and gate
Sorry if this is ever so slightly off topic...
At the end of the month I will fly with Ryanair:
Charleroi - Dublin
Dublin - Cork
Web check-in, no hold luggage.

In Dublin when I arrive can I go straight to the gate for the Dublin to Cork flight. Or am I forced to exit Dublin arrivals and do the security queue for departures? Because they usually scan one's boarding pass at security. If I stay airside and go straight to board my flight to Cork, my boarding pass will never have been scanned before my arrival at the boarding gate...
See what I mean?

About bases....
Well Brindisi and Bari and hot contenders for the next bases.
Ryanair are also negotiating with the Sicilian airports of Catania and Comiso. The rumoured routes suggest a Sicilian base. A bold move to immediately launch a destination and a base at the same time, but considering there Italian ambitions, not at all surprising. In fact, any Italian base wouldn't surprise me. We've also been promised an announcement soon of a base in Germany, so all existing non-base German destinations are potential candidates. My money being on Memmingen or Karlsruhe.
Indeed, aspirations of a Malta base is public knowledge, and Ryanair want to get it up and running quicksmart if negotiations go in their favour. I'm not holding my breath though. Word of negotiations between Ryanair and Copenhagen have quietened down again. Maybe it'll become a destination before becoming a base anyway.
