              RYANAIR ANNOUNCES SIX NEW ROUTES - EUROPE TO DUBLIN
         BIARRITZ, CARCASSONNE, DONCASTER, EINDHOVEN, FRANKFURT & ROME

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline today (Wednesday, 26th January 2005)
announced that it will launch 6 new routes from Europe to Dublin this Summer
with fares a fraction of the price of Aer Lingus' lowest each way fare.

ROUTE                              START DATE                FARE*

Biarritz                           19th April 05            EUR 29.99
Carcassonne                        19th April 05            EUR 29.99

*One way tax inclusive

Announcing Ryanair's six new routes in Dublin today, Ryanair's Deputy Chief
Executive, Michael Cawley, said:

        "These six new routes from Europe to Dublin are great news for Irish
        consumers, Irish tourism, and Irish jobs. By launching low fare flights
        to Germany, Italy and the South of France, Ryanair will make Europe
        affordable for Irish consumers at fares that are less than half the
        price of Aer Lingus' so called lowest prices.

        "We also expect that more than half of the traffic on these new routes
        will be European visitors, who will no longer be deterred by Aer Lingus'
        high fares. Ryanair will use its large marketing presence in these
        overseas markets to drum up business for Irish tourism.

        "Ryanair expects to carry over 500,000 passengers per annum on these six
        routes, this will create over 500 new jobs here at Dublin Airport. These
        new links show what can be done if Bertie Ahern would honour his
        election promise and deliver a competing second terminal instead of
        three years of dithering. A competing second terminal would bring 5
        million new passengers per annum and create 5,000 jobs, these routes
        today are just a taste of what's possible if only decision would replace
        dithering as the tourism policy of Bertie Ahern's Government."
