Interesting take on things guys. Given that FR (and EI) take significant sums on charges such as baggage and in-flight sales in theory the FR schedule should be better, i.e. more people = larger market to sell to. However having taken numerous flights ORK-DUB with FR I have seen few (frequently no-one) pony-up for the priority boarding, drinks on-board, scratch-cards, bus transfers etc - but the flight is so short I don't really see the need.
In other news Air France has pulled the SNN-CDG service. Poor loads and yields apparently.
