Ryanair's winter service from London to Farranfore, Co Kerry, will continue to allow weekly commuters to work a full week in Britain following complaints from the Kerry Association in London about new times.

Since January a Ryanair flight has flown from Stansted at 7.35pm, with a return flight on Sunday leaving Farranfore at 9pm. However, travellers bookings for flights after November 8th were informed that the Kerry flight would leave Stansted at noon, with a return flight on Sunday at 3pm.

Ryanair's Robin Kiely today blamed an IT glitch. He said the winter schedule would operate at 6.35pm from Stansted on Fridays, with the return on Sunday at 8pm.
