Low cost airline Ryanair is adding a daily return flight between Brussels Charleroi and Dublin from 7 November.

The airline revealed the move would mark Ireland’s upcoming six-month Presidency of the Council of the EU, which will commence on 1st Jan.

Flights will cost from €19 one way, with a morning and evening flight departing Brussels Charleroi daily, and a morning and evening flight departing Dublin daily.

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair is delighted to announce an additional daily return flight (from 7 Nov) between Brussels and Dublin to mark Ireland’s upcoming Presidency of the EU.

European and Irish politicians can save Europe’s taxpayers thousands of euro by switching to Ryanair’s low cost flights without having to fork out on hotels or other expenses, thanks to our double daily flights.

“Ryanair’s low fares will be enjoyed by over 79 million ordinary consumers this year and only Ryanair can deliver the lowest fares coupled with industry leading customer service. With austerity and budget tightening now the focus of every EU state, it is time that more governments stopped wasting money flying with high-cost, frequently delayed, airlines.

“With Ryanair fares starting from just €19, civil servants can slash the amount of taxpayer money they waste and spend that money instead on much needed hospitals and schools. With a commitment from governments to fly Ryanair, Ireland can deliver the first low cost EU Presidency.”
