"......P.S. I heard Ryanair are to hand back there PSO route Dublin Kerry since its losing so much money operating it...."
Where did you hear that?????
What about their base then as their base aircraft services the Dublin route. ??

Yes it does Raceco, but what happen GPA? South America all ready has a Ryanair model for a number of years.Its a very hard market there when your not a local, sounds like getting rid of 73 orders to me.
They not trying to emulate GPA just ensure that during a downtime they utilise aircraft.
Additionally no doubt the Brazialian airline may seek to emulate some of the success of FR hence an outlet for people on secondment. Remember Brazil in next decade has a couple of very big sporting events which will allow lots of opportunities.
Additional based a/c for June-Aug operating "summer sun" routes. From website:
News Release
02.02.10
7 summer sun routes from Cork at unbeatable prices
Don’t be screwed by Aer Lingus's high fares
Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (2nd Feb) announced that it will open seven new summer sun routes, and temporarily base one additional aircraft at Cork for the 3 peak months of June, July and August, to offer Cork consumers competition, choice and much lower summer sun fares than Aer Lingus.
Ryanair’s seven summer sun routes from Cork to Alicante, Barcelona (Reus), Bordeaux, Faro, La Rochelle, Lanzarote and Malaga will deliver an additional 40,000 passengers through Cork airport in just three months. However, Ryanair highlighted that year round growth at Cork is not possible due to the Irish Govt’s €10 tourist tax and the high, and rising, charges imposed by the DAA Monopoly at Cork airport.
Ryanair’s new routes will allow many families in Munster to travel to the sun at low fares from Cork Airport and make up for much of the flights lost as a result of Budget Travel’s recent closure.

The biggest shareholder in Aer Lingus aims at worsening the national carrier's already very poor profitability while operating their own flights with no profit at all, presumably. Brilliant!

In the past when I booked with Easyjet to fly to Malaga I have entered my passport details online with the booking. However I have just booked a return flight from Prestwick to Malaga but I haven't been asked for my passport details, when do I have to provide Ryanair with them and how do I do this? I thought that the Spanish authorities had to have everyone's details before the flight left the UK.

You do this when you check in not book.

You will provide them when you check-in online, but note that a few months ago Ryanair.com stopped printing these details on the boarding pass. So don't fret... 
Boarding card
As Ryanair no longer seem to print things like the passport number on a boarding card, what's the real purpose of asking for it at all ? Does FR run a check against an immigration database to confirm validity of details before issuing the boarding card ?
As long as the name and the nationality on the boarding card match the passport and the photo in the passport resembles the passenger, gate staff will let the person presenting the boarding card onto the plane.
Apart from traffic between the UK and Ireland, I've never seen immigration staff in the EU ask for the boarding card of an arriving passenger when the passenger holds an EU passport. Further, if a passenger wanted to 'lose' their boarding card in the hours between boarding a plane and arriving at immigration, it would not be hard to do so.
I'm just struggling to see the point of the insistence that passengers must supply their passport number to Ryanair...

Pee, you probably hinted "fly to Finland", but didn't write it this time
. Anyway, I've made an interesting observation and was stunned, have to admit it.
Wow
. WOW! With 1 piece of luggage one-way fare totaling over 200 euro while the departure day is still five months ahead. Well, that's something! I think I know what you mean.

Ryanair seem to operate:
Within the next week or so: VERY expensive
1-3 months: Cheapest fares
>3 months: VERY expensive
Obviously it is not as black and white as this but they do seem to pick and choose their lowest fares as and when they choose.
This is completely opposite to U2 who seem to work very much to the original plan of first come first serve. I guess that is something businessmen/women as into...

I reckon the non printing is down to someone pointing out that if you print it and someone loses or throws away the pass it then you have a valid passport number of someone that will be recognised by immigration as being valid.

(TMP to AGP) one-way fare totaling over 200 euro
As an anecdote, Ryanair's Nordic chief Eric Elmsäter had promised to work for Finnair one day for free if there would be less than 500 flight tickets sold during the 24 hours after the TMP/AGP route announcement. Well, on that day FR sold some 490 tickets only and Elmsäter was ready to fulfill his promise, but as AY needed just baggage handlers then, I don't know if he went there.
Cork to Tampere service
