             SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN STATEMENTS

             FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)

             Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 17,809,830 shares or 1.206% of the Common Stock outstanding of RYANAIR HOLDINGS PLC  ("the Company") as a result of acting as investment adviser to various investment companies registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

             Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR LLC, through its control of Fidelity, and the funds each has sole power to dispose of the 17,809,830 shares owned by the Funds.

             Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC, are the predominant owners, directly or through trusts, of Series B voting common shares of FMR LLC, representing 49% of the voting power of FMR LLC.  The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B voting common shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Series B voting common shares.  Accordingly, through their ownership of voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.

             Neither FMR LLC nor Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC, has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written guidelines established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.

             FIL Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, and various foreign-based subsidiaries provide investment advisory and management services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies and certain institutional investors.  FIL, which is a qualified institution under section 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii), is the beneficial owner of 24,043,972 shares or 1.628% of the Common Stock outstanding of the Company.

             Some or all of the shares of Common Stock of RYANAIR HOLDINGS PLC owned by the investment companies at December 31, 2009 may include shares represented by American Depository Shares.

             Partnerships controlled predominantly by members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, own shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast approximately 47% of the total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock.  FMR LLC and FIL are separate and independent corporate entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed of different individuals.

             FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.  Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint basis.

             FIL has sole dispositive power over 24,043,972 shares owned by the International Funds. FIL has sole power to vote or direct the voting of 21,983,672 shares and no power to vote or direct the voting of 2,060,300 shares of Common Stock held by the International Funds as reported above.
