Whats all this stuff about PSO, LDY, etc to do with Ryanair? If you want comment on those issues, a DUB-Belfast route was tried a few times and failed. Even less chance now with the new motorway. A new road is out to tender from the border to Londonderry to link with the much improved link from Dublin to Monaghan. When completed, admittedly a few years away, it will blow a Dub-Ldy air route completely out of the water.

Rumour: FR will open a route from Weeze to a city in the Baltic states. But KUN and RIX are routes from NRN. Will they go to Tallinn or somewhere else?
The confirmation should come today (not sure if all these routes will be announced at once).
as much as nine destinations are planned: London, Dusseldorf-Weeze, Milan-Bergamo, Мadrid, Girona, Brussels-Charleroi, Oslo, Stockholm-Skavsta and Kaunas
Estonian fly additionally from Vilnius to Amsterdam, Milan (from December) and Stockholm, while Ryanair fly to Milan from Kaunas.
One may also wish to consider that Estonia as a country has a population of less than 1.4 million. Lithuania, where Ryanair became the dominant carrier following the demise of FlyLAL in 2009, has a population of around 3.3 million
Assuming pee is correct, the level of route overlap does not look good for the newly nationalised Estonian.

Tallinn
It became official a few minutes ahead of my post.
Right. But again. Don't underestimate the Russian population living to the East of Estonia. The same way Russians fly from Tampere (the distance from St. Petersburg to Tampere is as much as 470 km), they'll be flying from Tallinn too (360km). Only Lappeenranta is located better (195 km), but here FR is slower to develop.
The distance is a very relative concept, I would say.

So they all get visas so easily?
Our Tarja Halonen is quoted as saying "Finland will back Russia's bid to scrap the visa regime with the European Union,"
"We are doing all we can and will continue to do so for the introduction of a visa-free regime," Halonen said at a news conference after talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Btw., look at this picture (cute, isn't it?)
Medvedev said "the time was ripe" for a visa-free regime between Russia and the EU. "It is the spirit of the time," he said.

French law...
This is old stuff, RyR have been pushing the EU to rationalise the law covering employees, and/or to sort out the consequences of free movement of labour. Of course the EU is ducking and diving, it is VERY sensitive political issue.
As usual MO'L is pushing, and he is threatening to leave MRS, and Bauvais, and then kick Sarkozy in the a*se and so on. Technically, staff can be contracted in any Member State and work in another, under the terms of their contracts.
The bottom line? save money. The consequences? race to the bottom, no union rights, etc., etc.
Bye, Barry

Ryanair will, from 31st October, switch its Kerry based aircraft to another EU base where Govts are reducing airport fees and welcoming tourists instead of taxing them. Ryanair will, from 31st October, continue to operate four routes from Kerry to Dublin, Frankfurt Hahn, London Luton and London Stansted.”

"Interesting few posts regards MRS, but my question is why is every UK base on a UK contract and with Ryanair UK Ltd?"
Presumably dates back to the fact that when Ryanair started in the UK they needed a UK AOC to operate domestic flights (prior to full deregualtion), so a company was set up to achieve that. Once in place, the cost of changing becomes prohibitive.
