I may be completely wrong about this, but do lo-cos actually overbook? I had always believed that a fundamental feature of the likes of FR, EZY etc, was that if you didn't show up, that was your tough luck and you don't get a refund. So, overbooking compensation doesn't arise.

I had been hoping to see some progress on the issue of a Common Transatlantic Aviation Area; as I understand, Ireland is the main fly in the ointment here, but heard nothing about the issue in what press releases I've seen so far. Was this discussed?
