The announcement might be about its forthcoming flights from PRG, previously mentioned as being DUB, NRN, EIN, BOH and NYO, but also about its new routes from DUB, previously mentioned as being BSL, BUD, KTW, RAK, NCE, PRG, and SZZ.

They are obviously bumping up BOH for a new base.
They are carrying pretty much the same number of passengers on their daily DUB service as Blackpool and Doncaster but still they get extra services.
Starting to build a profile at Basel which won't please EZY if they are to continue.

I am delighted that both NCE and PRG will be served by FR - two brand-new cities for the airline.
The introduction of NCE means FR will now serve 20 French destinations.
BUD will have 7 routes.
BSL will have 5 routes.
I am pleased to see that BTS, KUN, KRK and RIX go to daily.

Are Ryanair getting any special discount for operating so many routes out of Dublin (I'm guessing the answer is no, but I'm curious how he can put on so many routes at full landing charges).

1. He probably won't be paying full charges at the airport. Most carriers usually have different rates, I'm guessing EI having the best deal with operating long haul services. The only carriers that pay full prices are the ones that only offer a limited number of services such as MON and FCA who operate charter flights.
2. Most FR flights don't make a profit off of air fares, but include onboard service (drinks & duty free etc.), car hire, hotels, credit cards - the list goes on - they end up making HUGE profits.
3. IF they did pay full charges then they would certainly make it up at some of the airports they fly to. Remember Derry PAYING them to fly there?!

Dublin - Cork
I see one of the 5 daily DUB-ORK rotations will be done using a DUB-based aircraft from the winter. Cork aircraft not doing anything instead though, just starting later, finishing earlier!

Well Cork have a fantastic Route Support Scheme where new routes get significantly reduced charges for the first 5 years 
However Ryanair don't seem the slightest be interested in this scheme.
If they were they could introduce routes such as PIK, CRL, HHN, GRO, FUE, MRS, VLC, BGY, PSA, PMI, KUN, EMA etc etc etc and get a very nice deal! But instead they use their Cork aircraft mainly on DUB which was an exisiting route and therefore didn't qualify for the Route Support Scheme. And what's more, I'm convinced they're making mucho losses on ORK - DUB.
(Even Aer Lingus aren't tempted by the Route Support Scheme, instead opting for new routes to already served Manchester and Birmingham in recent history).

Ryanair
I must be missing something here,in their press release Ryanair quote
These new aircraft and routes have been facilitated by the recent opening of Check-in Area 14, and the opening of Pier D in October
Yet Ryanair are always slagging the DAA over their facilities and planned developments and object to every planning application for development at Dublin.Maybe they are running out of major airports to argue with.Their recent row with Stansted and removal of 7 based aircraft there will have little affect there.But with their highest yields being achieved ex Dublin they are still expanding there,busines is business at the end of the day.

Shannon airport should learn.
They go where the money is. They should buy some shares in Aer Lingus, oops, they already have. No announcement on Shannon routes yet. Waiting for the protectionist racket to die down first methinks.

6 new routes from MAD, starting next winter season:
Alghero (Sardinia) 30 Oct 07
Cagliari (Sardinia) 28 Oct 07
Barcelona (Girona) 28 Oct 07
Francfort (Hahn) 30 Oct 07
Liverpool 30 Oct 07
Santander 29 Oct 07
I'm afraid Shannon, Faro and Bournemouth will all be axed (also Malmoë, but that was already known).

Those new routes from MAD are on Ryanair.com, although there isn't yet an official statement.
MAD-GRO = daily
MAD-SDR = daily
MAD-HHN = daily
MAD-AHO = 3x weekly
MAD-CAG = 4x weekly
MAD-LPL = 3x weekly
After cutting MAD-SNN, -BOH, and -FAO, and adding the new 6 routes, FR will have 18 routes to/from MAD.
FR will now have 6 domestic Spain flights: MAD-SDR; MAD-GRO; GRO-GRX; GRO-TFS; GRO-FUE; and VLC-SVQ.
AHO will now have 12 routes and SDR 6.
