(TMP to AGP) one-way fare totaling over 200 euro
I also believe the price will go down, but if anybody purchases these flights at this price right now, it tells much about the potential profitability of such a routes.

As an anecdote, Ryanair's Nordic chief Eric Elmsäter had promised to work for Finnair one day for free if there would be less than 500 flight tickets sold during the 24 hours after the TMP/AGP route announcement. Well, on that day FR sold some 490 tickets only and Elmsäter was ready to fulfill his promise, but as AY needed just baggage handlers then, I don't know if he went there.

Cork to Tampere service
Well, could be an exciting route, but would it be profitable enough?
