Maybe they will, maybe they will not, we will just have to wait and see what happens. Nobody can predict what will happen for sure. Sometimes Ryanair do that but sometimes they don't. For example EI pulled out of the Krakow route and FR have since upped frequency not reduced it, so they don't always cut when others pull out.

W6 prices from Cork to Poland were quite large coming in at well over the prices of most flights from Dublin to Poland, which was the result clearly of no competition on such routes, it was not uncommon for no prices to be below 70 euro per flight at best. Now they will be forced to reduced such prices with competition and that will only benefit the consumer. Already W6 have reduced the prices of their flights having just looked at the site.

The same has happened with EI on flights from Dublin to Warsaw, it was impossible to get a flight for below 100 euro most of the time, now since FR started operated to Modlin most flights booked a month in advance start at around 70 euro and when flights to Modlin go seven days a week from the Winter EI's fares fall still further.
