PASSENGERS HOPING to fly with Ryanair this weekend have been urged to check in for their flights as soon as possible, ahead of a scheduled downtime period for the airline’s website.
The airline this afternoon said its website would be taken offline for extended periods over the weekend in order to allow for maintenance and improvement works, meaning passengers will not be able to check in online for those periods.
The online checkin facility will be disabled from 4pm on Friday afternoon until 12pm on Sunday lunchtime – meaning passengers intending to fly at the weekend will have to check in before Friday afternoon.
Passengers who are unable to check in online will have to do in person at the airport – and be hit with a €60 or £60 fee for doing so.
Anyone with bookings for flights this weekend – which could include travellers to the Heineken Cup final in London, and the UEFA Champions’ League final in Munich – can check in for their flights now using the Manage My Booking facility.
“Ryanair wishes to apologise to all passengers who may be affected by our website closure, which is unavoidable in order to upgrade the www.ryanair.com website,” the airline said.
The airline said the updated website, when completed, would work three times faster, and also offer SMS text alerts to inform passengers of delays to their flights.

Fada love of God
Different strokes
I noticed another mistake, names of the British soldiers are also on the wall. When is the work to remove them going to start
It’s up now Chris. Leave well enough alone and move on.
Cannon fada!
People talking about vandalising and smashing up or tearing down this wall is knee-jerk nonsense. It is what it is. You don’t desecrate a memorial to the dead, almost exclusively young men and civilians. Republicans and Nationalists will continue to remember their people their way, in their time honoured tradition. It’s a living, breathing thing.
Isn’t it gas the way the establishment claim an allegiance to the men and women of 1916 while at the same time attempting to whitewash them out of history. They don’t know if they’re coming or going. 100 years on and you can be sure the executed leaders of 1916 would be saddened at our pathetic plight.
Homelessness, a broken health service, a lawless land both rural and urban, the gap between the rich and the poor greater than ever. Our leaders have failed us.
I believe it was erected by Glasnevin Trust.
A Necrology is a list of deaths – no celebration or tribute is inferred, and I think this is deliberate.
The soldiers died during the clashes of the Rising, so they are listed as people who died.
Not in tribute, just as significant historical information.
Fiach…on that basis its an excellent idea.
Misplaced fada’s, misplaced rememberance of the foe who tyrannised us, misplaced EU imperial multicult and mass-immigration re-colonisation policies over us, while our people are subjugated to a foreign EU power, our people once again as 3rd class citizens in their own country.
The Ghosts of 1916 are not surprised.
A poem showing what our Irish ancestral dead really think of modern Ireland and the sordid, trampling desecration of #Easter2016.
THE EERIE ABSENCE OF OUR 1916 RISING GHOSTS
The eerie absence of our 1916 Rising Ghosts
Amongst the hallowed GPO columns and meaningless Spire post
No sacred Pearsely native fire nor holy Ceanntly determined ire
did stir the soul nor move the heart
of a 2016 Razing funeral pyre
James Connolly was British so what’s the problem…..
The whole pantheon of Irish ancestral dead are furious at how this generation have wrecked Ireland and let another EU tyranny enslave us.
“Disgusted, dismayed, furious and enraged
with The Treacherous who violate Ireland and our Kin heritage.
Watching aghast, our 1916 Ghosts turned their backs
’til Fianna’s true heirs complete Ireland’s freedom from bondage.
Now gone and needed most, pray thee, “Come back Ethereal Host”
The eerie absence of our 1916 Rising Ghosts. ”
From “The Eerie Absence Of Our 1916 Rising Ghosts”

Shite poem in fairness
Jesus Christ, now there’s a flock of ghosts telling us what to think.
I though it was a gaggle of ghosts?
Born in Scotland of Irish parents.
The members of the Irish diaspora are Irish
Can we get anything right on this island? Our own language on such a memorable moment. Come on people
Should have spelt it in English and this wouldn’t have happened.
Ah now in fairness a large number of the rebels of 1916 were members of Conradh na Gaeilge. The revival of the Irish language had a massive impact on these events and the War of Independence. So much so that Irish is the official language of this country.
As Pearse said himself tír gan teanga is tír gan ainm
The Brits were not members. They are laughing at us AGAIN
*anam. Eire is ainm don tir, ach gan teanga nil aon anam don tir!
No he didn’t.
He said Tír gan teanga is tír gan anam.
Since we were talking about typos, that was a pretty dodgy one out of you.
Mo leath scéal tá ceart agat gan dabht táim imithe ón scoil cúpla bliain anois agus níl mo gaeilge comh láidir is a raibh sé. Measam go bhuil cúpla butún san post seo freisin!
Gan anam !!!
It is also in English. What’s your point?
Éire!
Id have spelt it Eirí – I’d have thought it would be pronounced Ayree with the fada on the E. Shows how much I know
The fadda isn’t all that needs to be corrected. I think while as a society we have built bridges, it’s disrespectful to those who fought for this country that the names of those they fought share the same memorial.
Apparently the stonemason is Polish…from Wroclaw i believe.
Ŵrócláŵ
Even if they were Irish and didn’t know that an Irish Republic was about to be proclaimed?
The Irish policeman shot dead at the gate of Dublin Castle at the start on Easter Monday was from county Limerick and probably a Catholic nationalist voter like the bulk of Catholic Ireland up to then.
I accept he had to be killed for the greater good but can’t we remember him 100 years on? He has descendants who deserve their ancestor to be taken into account too.
No other country would try to include opponents of their freedom in their national independence celebrations. Do you remember the fuss the British Legion kicked up a few years ago about plans for a service commemorating Second World War Japanese dead including the innocent civilians killed in two atomic bombings. There was an outcry.
On the same subject, I also saw that eejit Bob Geldoff on the TV the other night giving off about the fighters of 1916. Of course, he never chastises his adopted British paymasters about the many thousands (maybe even millions) they have killed over the centuries across the globe and the plundering of their countries, which have ultimately led to the many famines he so often mourns. Hypocrite and coward.
Well said Cairan, but the bigots on here will still moan.
So he’s well used to accented letters then
Cute Pearse pic. You know he only had one side to his head? That’s why you never see him face on. The Brits. They stole the other side of his head.
Think I read somewhere over the weekend that the british soldire whose name appears between James Connollys and Sean MacDarmadas on the rememberance wall, was one of the soldiers who massacred 15 civilians on North King Street.
Pretty disgusting that he should share a space between two of our martyred patriots. No surprise though.
The airbrushing continues…….
For…..interesting story..genuinely…could you remember where you read it?
you are just going to have to suck it up princess :D
Troll troll troll
This is an account of what happened in North King Street in 1916. Seems well documented.
http://www.theirishstory.com/2012/04/13/the-north-king-street-massacre-dublin-1916/
Eoin…Thank you.
Shinner complaining about airbrushing is like Ku Klux Klan complaining about not being able to see properly. Airbrushing the armed struggle to force the Brits Out with a new message that the lads were just trying to exercise their human rights is disrespectful to the martyrdom of Booby Sands.
Still abusing the name and image of James Connolly I see….
Pretty hypocritical.
A Shinnerbot in agreement with RIRA supporting thugs. No surprise there.
I don’t know why the Shinnerbots are objecting.
The Sinn Fein Lord Mayor of Dublin was invited to the event and agreed to attend.
Now, at the last minute, she was unable to attend due to a family emergency, but she had no problem in principle.
North King St. A terrible massacre.
Just pull the thing down before someone else does, it’s a travesty. Whoever dreamed up that asinine wall might as well have taken a dump on the graves of those who died for this country.
Hopefully someone takes a sandblaster to it some night..
truly is a fantastic monument and just shows how mature our fine republic is :)
This wall has nothing to do with maturity, reconciliation, a genuine memorial or any other adjective applied to justify it. It was put there knowing it would be divisive. It is no more than a memorial to the divisiveness of FG.
Disappointing but not surprising.
I think most people would be equally irritated if the inscription read …
“In the name of God and the dead generation’s from whom …”
Don’t have to understand Irish to lament shoddy work and carelessness.
They must have used the same crowd that did the hilarious sign for Taxi
Drivers on O’Connell st.

Bless the taxi driver’s what?
Bless the taxi driver’s what?
. It is not just the misplaced fada is it? The ‘ire’ of many more than Gaeilgeoirí that has been raised.
I understand that the Govt gave a rather large donation towards the wall something that has received very little publicity. Perhaps Journal.ie could ask some questions as to how it was funded? Also are their plans to include names of the Black and Tans on the wall at a future date?
BTW there is at least one other error on the wall.
Kerry
I would nt put it past the Free-State government to eventually put the names of deceased Black & Tans on the wall at some stage. All in the interests of placating the British and apologising for some of their countrymen having the temerity to demand national independence. These are the same apologists who today won’t demand of the British their files on the Dublin bombings.
What is the other mistake?
That the wall was erected as is in the first place.
It’s an easy target for dissidents now…. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it taken out
Kerry
Black and Tsns and Auxiliaries were not around during the Rising formed after 1918 so hardly
There’s also the name of a paedophile/artist on the wall too….but we’re not allowed to talk about that as he was an Irish hero.
Steve, apparently the wall is to eventually contain names from 1916-23. Tear it down now.
Yest the black and tans who were killed will feature in future
No – but you know, in a couple of years we could do it… in the spirit of peace and reconciliation and all that…
Large proportion of the British Soldiers killed were Irishmen trying to put food on the table. I think people have a very narrow one sided view of history if they complain about the soldiers being named among the dead. These weren’t monsters out to oppress the Irish people just normal lads doing their job. Fair enough hold a little anger for a Monarchy/Government that oppressed a nation for 800 years causing poverty, death and famine but not the ordinary Joe trying to get by which is what frontline soldiers always are.
Jax…i agree completely.
Ah, the old “trying to put food on the table” excuse!
Oppressing and killing innocents since the roman days!
Serious question, don’t know if you have kids or a family but, Would you let your family starve or have a difficult life in poverty rather than join the army if you had no other option?
They were the same as colonised Algerians fighting for France , or Moroccans fighting for Franco. Some Irish men in the British Army even partook in the failed invasion of Turkey. i mean to say like, what was all that about?
the usual clowns will be outraged :D
Calm down, tommy.
It appears that they have also listed one of the rebels as a civilian as well.
The Irish on the card attached to the wreath laid (in our name) by the Taoiseach at the event, was riddled with errors in spelling and grammer. I thought that it richly ironic that he incorrectly spelled the Irish word for “Honour” (Ómós) as “omos” which has no meaning. As the Coimisinéir Teanga has said on the attitude of the state to the use of Irish – a simple message is being delivered.
Nothing worse than errors in spelling and grammer.
Akin to putting a memorial to downed German bomber crews from the Battle of Britain at the Cenotaph.
I’d be more concerned with the typos where British soldiers were listed on the wall, equating them with our patriots whom they tried to put down.
For instance, the typo where the name of one British soldier (Harry Dickinson) who took part in the North King St Massacre, where he went door-to-door killing innocent men & boys in the aftermath of the Rising, was placed on the wall between the names of James Connolly and Sean Mac Diarmada.
Grotesque, but sadly typical of the free stater mentality where such a man is honored equally on a monument with James Connolly & Sean Mac Diarmada.
“Gaeilgeoirs”…..??? It’s a good thing the author pluralised the word with an “s”. We wouldn’t have a clue what’s going on if an “í” was used.
Typical of these language snobs to get so precise about spelling when most of the country cannot speak their own language.
Many’s an Irish speaker could not read or write but they were all fluent native speakers.
Doo u reely tinc su lari. Wats de pint en spelin proplee.
So..anyone that can spell is a ‘language snob’…..I’d say your school teachers had problems correcting you, Larry.
Larry Doherty. Whats snobbish about correct spelling? The English version was spelt correctly. If it wasn’t would only a snob object? ‘Eestar Rising, a problem for you? No, probably not.
Very same thing happened my husband when he got the Irish flag and Éire tattooed on his shoulder! I wonder would yer man fix the two for the price of one?
I think its right to have British Soldiers names on the memorial. But it would have made more sence to have all their names together.
I think it’s right that British soldiers have a memorial but putting the names side by side is a foolish thing to do, it only serves to cause needless tension and divisions which could have been avoided.
I’d like to see a journal fact check into the wall as there has been little coverage up until it’s unveiling so it is very hard to make an educated comment about it.
It does seem as though the thing was just landed on us. I don’t recall any discussion or debate in the lead up to this unveiling. People should have been asked their opinions etc but sure we don’t matter.
Necrology Wall what an awful name! Surely someone could have come up with a better one. Something like Killed 1916 Easter Week.
Be honest. How many of us would have noticed?
Me for one.
How were the Brits supposed to read it anyway.
I see Francis Sheehy Skeffington’s name. An interesting man. He was feminist and took his wife’s name when they married. He and two Irish journalists were murdered by a crazed British officer.
Any we ask how could they have been as stupid as to invade Ireland when it`s full of Redmondites 100 years on.
What I would like to know is why had the wreath got from Enda Kenny Taoisacht on it
Fada love of God, can this country get anything right?
Get over it. It’s a nothing.
Only in ireland would you have the name’s of your enemy and irish collabarator’s on the same memorial it begger’s belife.
