How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you get no reply within two weeks. The average processing time for a carrier like Ryanair to finalise a compensation case typically ranges from 1 to 3 months.

Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Ryanair Connaught→London}.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The initial rejection from Ryanair must not make you give up. In most cases, passenger services invoke "weather" by default to gauge the traveller's persistence.

The Civil Aviation Authority or its European counterparts can be bureaucratic. A direct court claim against Ryanair is often more impactful. For short-haul, the local small claims court is often competent.
