I am not a FR basher, but interested in reactions from an operational point of view:

Aircraft from Ryanair taxied against traffic

A Ryanair plane created some panic in the air traffic control tower , after a 180 turn started to taxi on the runway.
Now investigated the incident by the Aviation Authority, said VG.no.

The alarm came on February 15 when Ryanair aircraft from London Stansted landed at Dublin airport.
When the plane was at the end of the runway after landing turned suddenly to 180 degrees and started rolling back the same way it just arrived.
The pilot never veered off the runway and onto the so-called taxiway, as the rules say that the pilot must do.
In the air, several other flights that would land, and air traffic control tower was quickly notify the pilots to immediately stop the approaches and take an extra lap in the air over the airport, writes Norwegian VG.no.
One of the planes was forced to abort the approach, was another Ryanair planes. One of the pilots called the flight tower and asked what was going on. According to the Daily Mail, who heard the call, said flight control tower that there was another Ryanair plane was "uh, screwed everything ...".
Admits mistakes
There are indications that the aircraft missed an exit. At smaller airports, it is not uncommon for aircraft making a u-turn at the end of the runway and then rolls back towards the terminal building, the same way it came from. But at the busiest airports, like the one in Dublin, the plane roll off the track as soon as it has slowed.
Irish Aviation Authority, IAA is concerned about the incident and says it is now under investigation.
Ryanair admits that a mistake has been made in Dublin on 15 February, but the company currently has no further comments.
