Dublin would seem entirely feasbible, especially since in Bremen airport's press release yesterday they said that Ryanair were introducing an Irish route. BGY or LTN would deserve higher frequencies than a mere -2-4-6- I would have thought.
Me just guessing too though, anyone with the facts?

Understand that it is now ryan's intention, at least as far as Luton is concerned, to operate flights to overseas destinations, using only Luton based aircraft. The reason for this I'm not entirely sure but I think I can guess. However, it does mean that flights into LTN from other ryan bases, using their based aircraft, is now fairly unlikely. Of course we all know things can change. Consequently any expansion in routes & services will tend to come from the Luton end.

Did we expect any sensational news to come out at the Annual General Meeting of FR? Well, probably yes, but what's been left actually? The new German base has already been announced and carrier's outlook is as good as expected... Nevertheless, I have found something intriguing as well. Let me quote just a short fragment of MOL's speech. Do you want to make any own conclusions?

"I think if there were open skies, we'd certainly look at maybe setting up a sister or a brother airline to Ryanair which would look at operating long-haul, low-fare flights, particularly from Ireland to the United States."

Things like the fast turnaround doesn't become so much of an issue because of the reduced number of sectors, they'd also have to start paying for their staff to stay in hotels and they'd have to clean the planes. Additionally, cramming passengers into a 737 for a 1hr journey is one thing but cramming them into a A330 for 8 hours is another.
There is also the fact that they don't have any equipment capable of flying long haul nor the staff to fly them.
Their only option would be to buy an existing airline, which isn't going to happen because they'd have to impose their working models on staff who are probably unionized and protected. One of the pseudo-charter/scheduled companies might be an option though. We'll see what happens.

I think you need to look at this statement in the context of the EI privatisation; every analyst, their granny and the dog and their granny's analyst is saying that EI needs to develop long haul; what better way to undermine EI than to threaten this. All he needs to do is to make it plausible in some way. The reference to the SNN stopover suggests a focus on the Irish market (whereas the overall Open Skies would allow him to do this from all across Europe), so that kind of suggests to me that they're looking at spiking EI and if they can undermine EI on long haul, they can really put the squeeze on them on short haul ...
That said, I don't think it can be ruled out. If this website were around 15 years ago and someone had said that there'd be an Irish airline which would be one of the biggest and fastest growing in Europe, using only 737s, you'd probably have doubted it; I think there are fundamental differences in long haul, not least because people want their creature comforts, BUT we will get to a stage of having Open Skies and indeed, the Shannon stopover could be lifted (or at least greatly alleviated) by next month, so he could well try and dip his toe in the water.
If I had to take a guess, however, I think it's something he will look at, but right now, he's just saying it to undermine EI.

Does anyone have a link to a news article or official statement which reveals what was said and talked about at Ryanair's AGM today?

Ryanair could op a sister company, having longhaul destinations from each of their bases that could handle larger a/c, there is nothing to stop them
op these routes as a normal priced airline, with full frills and use the low cost model as a feeder airline, I could see this working, or just use Stansted as the long haul base and let other airlines bring in the pax.

Charlie Roy,
I'm fairly sure (90%+!) that EZY's Bremen-Luton is operated by BRE-based A319s twice a day. The flight numbers are 4xxx whereas LTN flight numbers are 2xxx. Also, there are no EZY 319s based at LTN so far (although they operate in from BRE, EDI and GLA).
