It's not in the bag that they will still be on the Dublin route. The Irish Government might seek out another airline and offer the them the opportunity to operate the balance of the PSO to June 2011. That means that they will be off the Dublin route ....they can't be on it as well as a PSO operator.
The Governement really p*ssed off with them. First BFS, then SNN and now KIR....MOL is pushing it and politicans are keen to see their bluff.
I love the the Minister's quote (using Justice Kellys famous quote)
"....Ryanair and the Truth make uneasy bedfellows..."
Classic!!!
