You're guessing wrong. The Republic of Ireland is most definitely a common law jurisdiction. In fact, it's one of the places where common-law grew up, as it's origins are in Anglo-Norman (English) law.
It has all of those concepts in law like duty of care etc etc.
It's also one of the most litigious countries in the world other than the United States.
Law suits of all types are very common.
I'm not sure whether this would fall into Ireland's juristiction though as the flight was operating between Spain and Italy, even if Ryanair are Irish-registered, you could find the contracts of sale are not.
