Such dreck:

The Aer Lingus plane – about to land on Runway 28, where FR-227 was now taxiing the wrong way – aborted its landing and flew around the airport to come in for another approach. While Aer Lingus flight EI-249 had not been cleared to land, the flight was less than a minute from touchdown when the crew was forced to abort.

Wow I could only read 1/2 of the article before clicking out. Not a Ryanair fan, but wow, this article is soooooo overhyped. The Ryanair flight missed his exit and had to back taxi, causing a flight to go around. The controller was kinda unhappy. Calm down people, I don't think the world is over yet

If I am reading the article correctly, FR227 was not cleared by the tower to perform the 180° turn and back-track, which is why the tower had to instruct approaching traffic for that runway to go-around.
That being said, the article does not say if the tower gave specific instructions on how FR227 should have exited the runway or if they just said "expedite vacating the runway", I guess with the assumption they would do so at the end of the runway and not perform a back-track.

Yeah, FR227 was wrong, but it's hardly earth shattering

Ah again, Ryanair bashing! What a load of BS.
This is daily practise around the world. These 'mistakes' happen, everywhere, and with any airline.
But in question is Ryanair, so it must be widely reported about in the newspaper.
Safety was granted all time, nothing happened, the ATC did just their work apart from the communication towards the other aircraft, which sounds quite unprofessional to me.

A concerning incident from a flight safety perspective (only because it's unclear if the crew and ATC were in sync). That said, the Daily Mail piece is very much over-dramatized.

Exactly! More of an error in communications

Missed his exit and instead of continuing on to the next exit (at the end of the runway) he made an unauthorised 180 degree turn and back track. That is what the issue is. Aircraft land long all the time and miss the expected exit that is not the issue.

Indeed, I think the ATCO could have explained the situation to the other crews without identifying the operator of the aircraft. This would have been a more professional approach.
The rest of it is the usual Daily Mail hype. A few aircraft had to conduct a second approach - hardly a reason for a full page spread.

So what?!
ATC is there to recover these mistakes.
Can be done by any other airline, and is done by any other airline.
But because it is done by Ryanair, it ends up in the media again...
and because it is Ryanair, the ATC controller was mentioning it so clearly to other approaching flights? Quite unprofessional, he surely needs to receive a reprimand.

Pier D isnt there either, nor Taxiway M2, or the western apron. I hope nobody is using that chart for navigation purposes!

Fair enough. Google maps does show runway 11-29 with big, white "X's" over it, but as you say, the configuration of the taxiways at the end of runway 28 (B7,E7,E6) appears to be correct.

Google Earth shows about the same as the chart and Piers and other taxiways irrelevant to this incident. So what will happen to this Captain? It seems pretty outrageous what he did, I would love to hear his reasoning. Something like this in the US you would probably looking for a job and a license, I mean to make a u-turn on your own and then taxi against landing traffic when you have two high speeds and a turn off at the end? Almost impossible to believe an airline crew would do this.

Until the runway is not cleared of the traffic (the FR B738 in question), the runway is not available to any other traffic. So what is the problem safety wise? ATC has the job to secure a safe operation, so they can order go-arounds as per procedures for such happenings.
If there was a mis-understanding, well, that can happen.
Maybe the FR flightcrew had another reason to turn 180º
We just don't know. But we cannot judge... taking away licenses or non-active from flying is a bit much right, or maybe typical the 'American way' to do things?
Like we say in Netherlands, storm in a glass of water. A minor incident happened in DUB, with no further irregularities jeopardizing safety.

Quoting jetmech (Reply 22): It does seem weird that the aircraft in question could easily have used exit B7 at the end of runway 28, but for some reason, decided to do a 180 and backtrack on the runway to exit E7! I can understand the incredulity of ATC.
The only thing I can think of, is that the aircraft may have misunderstood a statement from ATC.
ATC may have said, "exit on E7, or by E7", meaning (to ATC) that an aircraft was on final behind them and to hurry exiting. However, the aircraft may have interpreted that to mean that B7 was not available, and that E7 was the only exit or the last exit. (This happens sometimes).
That being the case therefore, the aircraft if having passed E7, would do a 180 to exit on E7.
