There are many opportunities of connecting flights with Ryanair, and I have often taken advantage of these opportunities when there is no direct flight, for instance : BDS-BGY-CRL, NYO-TSF-CRL, DUB-EDI-CRL, and a lot of others.
But Ryanair does not guarantee the connection : if the first flight is late and you miss the connecting flight, you are on your own. Given the ponctuality of Ryanair, it seldom happens. Never happened to me until now ..
