Hi Premier, as so kindly pointed out to me recently, refer to Fleecy's link.
The Ryanair chart (issued by the VAAC) doesn't paint exactly what is going on here. It is the BLACK areas indicated on the chart that represent areas of ash density that exceed recommendations from engine manufacturers.

Hi HighLow,

Many thanks for that and to Fleecy for posting the link. My main point also is that even in relation to this series of charts, you can see that neither ORK or DUB are within the black areas even at 06.00 Hours this morning..

Hopefully everything will get back to normal this afternoon, but I would say the risk of another closure into Wednesday is very high.

Regards,
