Ryanair and Irish banks are the big stock market winners after putting on billions of euro in value over three successive Mondays when the three pharma firms leading the race to develop a Covid-19 vaccine announced promising results of their advanced trials. 

The airline had responded to the crisis by cancelling flights and reducing schedules into Irish airports this winter.
