Ryanair flight FR6841 is a regularly scheduled flight that operates on an impacted rotation from Naples to Dublin, with EI-ENL handling the flight operations.
EI-ENL is a 12.8-year-old Boeing 737-8AS that was delivered to the Irish subsidiary back in January 2011, according to information gathered by Planespotters.net.
There are 222 Boeing 737-800s in the fleet of that group company; 211 of them are in use, while the remaining 11 are parked.
This afternoon, at 1449 local time, Ryanair aircraft FR6841 took off from Naples and flew westward to Dublin Airport.
Due to problems with the flaps, the crew started a go-around on final approach into the Irish airport.

EI-ENL made a successful landing on its second try, according to @Shauns_Aviation on X, and was met by fire and rescue upon arrival.
The aircraft did not use the emergency broadcast code, 7700, even though an emergency was declared.
It is now unknown if EI-ENL will fly another aircraft out of Dublin Airport tonight because technicians will undoubtedly need to examine the aircraft to determine whether any issues were encountered on board.
During this event, EI-ENL flew for three hours and forty-five minutes in total. There was very little delay because only one more landing attempt was required.
