Flight to Dublin and Hire Car

We flew to Dublin with Ryanair after waking up at the ghastly hour of 5am because we needed to leave home at 5:30am to get to Porte Maillot on time for the bus to the airport at Beauvais, which is light years from Paris. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:30am, and that meant being at Porte Maillot by 6:15 for the bus as it's necessary to be there 3 hours and 15 minutes before the departure time. We were a little bit early, but that's better than the alternative, and so we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare, and had breakfast. Our flight boarded at 9:35am, which obviously means it was delayed for some reason, but we made up time in the air and landed in Dublin exactly as scheduled. After collecting our baggage and going through passport control etc., we collected the hire car and headed off towards Cavan.
