The cut for August and September comes less than two weeks after Ryanair ramped up its flights for the summer

It says that Ireland “accounts for less than 8% of Ryanair’s traffic” but that the country’s tourism industry is facing “unrecoverable losses”. Ryanair has faced consistent criticism for a delay in processing customer refunds for flights cancelled between March and June. “This unique policy by Ireland, insisting on blanket quarantines with our European neighbours is damaging the recovery of Ireland’s economy and our tourism industry, causing long-term damage to jobs in Ireland’s largest employment sector, with business travellers in particular being told that Ireland is closed for business,” the spokesperson says.
