Link to the following statement was posted on Ryanair's home page on Jan 15:

We greatly regret that Ryanair has no alternative, but to act as the UK Chancellor's tax collector and in accordance with Article 4.2.2 of Ryanair's General Conditions of Carriage, all affected passengers will be advised via email of the additional tax amount that will be automatically charged to the credit card or debit card used to pay for their original booking. These credit/debit card transactions will take place over the next 2 weeks .

Please Note - If your flight booking was made on or after the 7th December 2006 then the increased Air Passenger Duty tax has already been collected by Ryanair and you have nothing further to pay.
