Not necessarily true. Provisional licences with a photo are green.

I've flown from London to Manchester using my work ID card so if your DL has a photo then I would expect it to be fine as it doesn't say "full" driving licence...

For British and Irish citizens who are travelling on flights to/from the United Kingdom to/from the Republic of Ireland (Common Travel Area), a valid driving licence with photo is acceptable photo ID. Passengers who are citizens of other countries travelling on these routes must present a valid passport (with visa if applicable) or a National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country.

Not when the information is inaccurate or incomplete as in this case.

Yep but none of that applies to Ryanair who fly the route OP was asking about. They require a passport (or EU ID card) from all, including children
