OP should get a refund, i do not disagree with that, but compensation ?? really come on
If you were told your coffee would be ready in 5 mins but it took 10 mins should you get a £100 compensation even though you got your coffee in the end? If you only got half a cup of coffee ofc you should get some sort of refund but should you get compensation 4x more than the cost of the coffee ? errm don't think so

This is exactly the problem in this world, people believing they are entitled to compensation for every little thing that goes wrong. Honestly people like this really annoy me, they are ambulance chasers looking for a quick buck at the detriment of honest people. Stop being so pathetic and get on with your lives, honestly it is sad trying to get compo for such a little delay. Ever heard the phrase "buy cheap, buy twice?"
What happens if he specifically bought that flight because it was leaving at that specific time and paid a premium over an earlier or later flight to be on it?
He may not have had a conventional financial loss but the airline made a profit from you taking that flight and he may have spent more than he needed to, only to be given a substandard product.
He went with a cheap no frills airline, something went wrong with the plane and they couldn't use it. Life is hard sometimes, get over it, move on and use a better airline next time.

And? That has no bearing on the matter. They are still a registered airline based in the EU.
Would you class Qatar and BA as cheap no frills airlines? I ask because I was screwed over by both (in different circumstances to the OP but i still ended up at the wrong airport at the wrong time) and they got away with it as well... The point being this sort of thing can happen with any airline.
Perhaps it was the way you spoke with the airline? I find being nice to people usually gets the best customer service ?

You've said you fly to Ireland quite frequently?
Surely the logical thing would be to request a couple of free flights?
You literally don't know what you're talking about.
EU airlines must, by EU law, compensate for delayed flights within certain parameters. It has nothing to do with buying cheap, it has nothing to do with ambulance chasers, it has nothing to do with being pathetic.
It's the law!
The law also says that a pregnant woman can wee in a policemans helmet if she cant make it to a loo. You can also shoot a welshman in the eye with an arrow from the walls around chester.
