Regulation 261/2004 requires the airline to care for and compensate their passengers regardless of the reason the flight was cancelled.
The Regulation does "envision" that nothing in it prevents the airline from seeking redress from third parties. To my knowledge this has never been attempted, nor (obviously) successful with government bodies or NATS. Perhaps Cryanair may do so in this case, and I wish them luck - they will need it.
