Only a small number of flights between the UK and Ireland will operate.
The airline is contacting affected customers. If your flight is cancelled, you can rebook tickets for free or be refunded. Customers are advised to follow local guidelines issued by the government and not to call for assistance as Ryanair call centres are overloaded.
