Anyone dumb enough to assert that you'll always pay more flying Aer Lingus over Ryanair is a DUMB shmuck. And patently a propagandist.
30 seconds on the EI and FR websites produced the following quotes for retuirn trips to Nice airport on the same days;

Also, Aer Lingus allows cabin hand baggage, Ryanair will charge 35 euro EXTRA penalty for it.
Aer Lingus allows 5kgs more Hold Baggage than Ryanair, which charges an extra 12 euro per kilo - making an automatic extra charge of 60 euro to match Aer Lingus allowance.
The Ryanair flight costs 107 euro more than Aer Lingus.
So in 30 seconds I proved you are a shmuck, and a Ryanair propagandist.
QED.

I bet ryan air does not include a bag and airport checkin at that. Where as Aerlingus usually does.
I wanted to fly from cork to london. Cheapest flight cost from ryan air was €10 + taxes + bag + checkin + double charging for transaction fee cost 114
Same from aerlingus -> free flights + taxes + bag + checkin + charge was €50
Your problem is you are such a shill you'd pay the extra 100 euro every time.
Go ahead you dumb shmuck, knock yourself out.
But don't foist your bollox about Ryanair being cheaper on the rest of us. The sentient public know to shop aroound EVERY TIME. Only dumb shmucks believe your propaganda.
This is why we SAY NO to the Ryanair Monopoly.
Tell O'Leary to STFU about government taxes and abolish his own 10 euro handling fee.
I'm just emulating my hero - that bollox O'Leary.
The tax is applied to everyone and the country is strapped, in case you hadn't noticed.
Let the airlines cut some of the bullsh1t taxes they've dreamed up instead.
End of story, move on.
