I'd very much doubt if Ryanair was given any incentives to compete with Easyjet on London or Aer Arann on Dublin. There is nothing in the airports route incentive scheme past or present to indicate that they provide such assistance. In hindsight Easyjet should have limited ORK LGW to 2 per day and maybe toughened it out for a bit longer. It was always going to be a huge task competing with EI and FR in the Irish market.
As for RE they might do OK on ORK DUB if they gave it another shot as I doubt FR would bother competing with them again.
