An Omni Air B762 was hired in to Shannon for 12 weeks and the 757 there was moved to Dublin. The B762 is expensive to run and therefore probably wouldn't make much of a profit outside of May/June/July/August/September.

The daytime EI102 is great for passengers, as has been pointed out, it's easier with jetlag etc. The 757 is also the perfect aircraft in terms of capacity!
However, I wouldn't be surprised if EI change it to an evening departure ex JFK, as they'll gain connecting passengers travelling JFK-DUB-Europe! With the early departure, they're limited to just JFK-DUB traffic

Er... John, aren't you missing the point pretty comprehensively here?
EI already have two evening departures ex JFK which enable them to... gain connecting passengers travelling JFK-DUB-Europe! Who'd have thought it?
They are using a dedicated 757 for EI 103/102 so in principle could schedule it at any time they wanted, and they have clearly chosen to go for a daytime option to provide time-of-day choice for point-to-point passengers. Like some of the other posters here, I would be happy to choose a flight from JFK to DUB that did not (to paraphrase 'Macbeth') provoke the desire to sleep and take away the ability to do so.

I wonder what remedies VS have in mind?

Perhaps they'd like another airline to run a shorthaul feeder service DUB/LHR for them! EI have two spare a/c come September

No surprise really, I doubted it would be overturned.
So ryanair have to offload it. I cant see anyone buying it except IAG, so Its a pretty guaranteed deal at this stage. After they get the RYR shares, they wont be far off a compulsory buy?

IAG could be waiting until 2016, Ryanair have hinted they may wait until the case is wrapped up in Europe before deciding to sell or not. Guess the board will make the final decision.

IAG have told the EU that competitors such as Virgin can continue to use IRL-LHR flights to put competition concers from the EU to bed. So far BA have not offered slots but they may be required to. Should know by 15 July.
The slots if required will be telling of IAG commitment!
