If the flight operated and you had a non-refundable ticket then you may have been able to claim from your travel insurance. (although some insurers would treat a voucher as a refund)
If the flight was cancelled by them then a cash refund was possible at the time (initially you had to phone to request this)
Vouchers are not transferable for cash.
The vouchers are valid till 2023
There were reports on FB that Ryanair had two prices for flights : the use a voucher price, and the cash price. Apparently the latter was significantly cheaper. Perhaps MSE can collate cases of this and present to the CMA/CAA?
