Announcing these 5 new routes at Ryanair's AGM, Michael O'Leary, CEO said:

        'Our new routes from Dublin in 2007 will allow even more passengers to
        travel to/from Europe and the UK for less than half the fares charged by
        Aer Lingus. Where they have a choice, more passengers prefer Ryanair
        because we give them the lowest fares, the youngest aircraft, the best
        punctuality, and a guarantee of no fuel surcharges.

        'More than twice as many passengers travelling between Ireland and the
        UK choose Ryanair over Aer Lingus and this latest expansion of our low
        fare routes from Dublin will ensure that this success is replicated
        between Ireland and Europe.

        'Seats on all of these new routes are FREE* on www.ryanair.com until
        midnight tonight and we advise passengers to book immediately as free
        seats to ex Aer Lingus high fare destinations will cause a stampede'.

* Excludes taxes and charges.
    
Ends.                            Thursday, 21st September 2006
