Clarification on travel

My brother lives in Northern Ireland but is booked to fly from Dublin to Bristol in a couple of weeks time.  It is to visit family so is non-essential travel.  Is a flight from Dublin to England classed as an internal flight as it would be if from Belfast for example?  He has asked about a refund but Ryanair have only said that he can rebook but would have to pay the difference in price.  His flights cost 80Euros but to rebook would be an additional 70Euros.  This seems particularly unfair given the current climate.  Can anyone advise what his rights are?
