I think its about 50/50 BHX based to DUB based. Wouldn't be surprised if we see multiple UK airports lose a daily rotation though. At least we know why.
In fact, 24 out of 37 BHX-DUB departures each week use DUB based aircraft so it may be likely that DUB frequencies get cut. However, with the UK market very important to FR I'd assume they would be the last routes to be cut.
It's not just BHX that could see their DUB route reduced as can be seen in the below list. It shows the number of Ryanair departures to DUB each week from all UK airports during peak Summer 2018.
I have listed the total departures to DUB from each UK Airport, and then a percentage showing the amount operated by DUB based aircraft:
London (STN) - 53 departures per week (40% of which use DUB based aircraft)
London (LGW) - 48 departures (100% DUB)
Birmingham - 37 departures (65% DUB)
Manchester - 37 departures (81% DUB)
Liverpool - 24 departures (71% DUB)
Edinburgh - 23 departures (91% DUB)
London (LTN) - 21 departures (0% DUB)
Bristol - 20 departures (70% DUB)
Glasgow - 20 departures (100% DUB)
Leeds Bradford - 14 departures (36% DUB)
East Midlands - 13 departures (46% DUB)
Newcastle - 13 departures (100% DUB)
