For instance?
These are very rarely the case.
Admittedly Dublin is a bit difficult now but I take about 40 flights/year and have always managed to avoid them.

It's not quite like that here since there were no commercial flights before Ryanair. So of course it's appreciated that it's not business class and you're roughing it to some extent. But nevertheless an operation as profitable as Ryanair really doesn't need to be quite so malign towards customers as it does, I reckon.
Incidentslly their business model is based on a US carrier (Southwestern Airlines?) which introduced low-cost flights in, I think, the Seventies. That airline doesn't have the reputation that Ryanair does. Nor does Easyjet, for that matter. Possibly because there's a difference between no-frills and "fuck you".

See earlier posting which provided that information.

Unless you don't have change or just have Euros. I'd rather pay an extra £ on the ticket price if they are that hard up.

So as I said. Extremely rare.
Why is Dublin difficult now?
Many of the real airlines now have reduced slots at Dublin so Ryanair is pretty much the main player for intra-Europe flights involving Dublin.
That will be a disappointment to many!

But even if that's so, it does provide the answer to your rhetorically-intended question.

and conveniently, if you are desperate enough to buy something on board, you wouldn't believe how often the crew don't have the change, so you end up overpaying
They remind me of taxi drivers

Yes, but at least you Ryanair are flying to Dublin and you get a choice of more than a couple of flights a day.
Shannon doesn't have the option of Easy Jet or Aer Fungus
and it's getting worse for Shannon
How many flights per week go to Dublin?

Well exactly. You're agreeing with me.
Yes, but ....
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FLY RYANAIR TO GO TO SHANNON
Have I missed something here?

They have a duty of care towards passengers while they are in the air, which would include providing toilet facilities, I would have thought. I would very much doubt the legality of charging for the loo while in flight.

If they can charge you for providing water, they can charge you for discharging it.

We don't disagree but I didn't know about Shannon and you edited your post with further information after I'd responded.
Yes, there are airports with little or no option but Ryanair, but thankfully they're extremely rare and are currently restricted to the ROI and one or two others. I'd also give serious consideration to landing elsewhere and driving if Ryanair were the only option, especially if I needed a car at my destination.

I'd also doubt the legality of refusing a glass of water to a passenger in distress.

That's the red trains that pootle about. The blue and the white ones all have bogs and they generally work fine.
I'd actually like Ryanair to charge for the loo. As soon as they do I'll fly withthem and just shit on the floor.

So would I. But they do it.

Not sure of the legality of refusing water in-flight but you can be sure that O'leary's had his lawyers all over it.
I'd doubt they'd refuse it if someone were in genuine distress but that opens the argument "what is distress?"

Fly Iberia, via Madrid.
Last time I went to Biarritz we went Air France via Paris as time before we tried Ryanair and it was so awful that changing in Paris was preferable. Even to Mrs. B. who is petrified of flying.

Brindisi or was it Biarritz?!
Yes, remember Aer Fungus moved out and set up home in Northern Ireland meaning all the Aer Fungus passengers now have to fly Ryanair, and now they're talking about reducing Ryanair flights there as well. There's also the £10 travel tax that's been whacked on some of the Irish airports (although that's the Government's fault, not Ryanair's)
So, do they provide free drinking water on trains/buses?
In which case why should Ryanair bother?
NB the drinks provided in first class are hardly "free"......

If you don't know, I'd like you to try ringing the bell on a plane and asking to get off.

Iberia flies Zaragoza to Madrid from where you can make your connection.

I know
They fucked up big time pulling out didn't they
Still try to avoid flying with the snotty up-their-own-arse little feckers though and they'll never be as cheap because of hte taxes at Heathrow
