If Aer Lingus were put in it's grave, and Ryanair had dominance of the routes in and out of Ireland, I highly doubt that prices would 'skyrocket'. They wouldn't be any more than what Aer Lingus are currently charging. Considering most passengers travel for pleasure, putting up the price significantly would mean that many won't bother to travel at all. You would simply drive away custom. Where's the sense in that? Of course them who must travel, say between London and Dublin for work would obviously be forced into paying the higher fares. But it would be killing off a massive customer type base.
