Ryanair B734 at Dublin on Jul 24th 2014, could not retract nose gear

A Ryanair Boeing 737-400, registration EI-JRD performing flight FR-7326 from Dublin (Ireland) to Prague (Czech Republic), was climbing out of Dublin's runway 10 when the nose gear didn't retract after the gear was selected up. The crew stopped the climb at 4000 feet reporting they needed to investigate a little problem and entered a hold to work the checklists, climbed to 5000 feet after about 30 minutes and subsequently returned to Dublin for a safe landing on runway 10 about 55 minutes after departure.

The airline's website shows the flight still as "delayed" about 8.5 hours after scheduled departure.

The airline has leased in the Boeing 737-400 from Aerocontractors.
