Depressurisation led to the emergency landing at Frankfurt Hahn airport shortly after 9pm.
Passengers reported a loss of pressure in the cabin, oxygen masks descended and some experienced earaches as well as headaches and nausea.
German news site Spiegel Online reported some 33 passengers were taken to hospital following the incident, however Ryanair said only a 'small number' of passengers required medical attention.
Posts on social media said passengers were accommodated with military style beds.
One person wrote on Twitter, “nightmare Ryanair flight FR7312 on way to Croatia. Emergency landing at Frankfurt. Overnight in military base camp beds – good old Ryanair style customer service”.
Another passenger said “Been on a lot of flights in my time but never experienced emergency landing with oxygen masks and the works on flight to our holiday destination in Croatia.
A connecting flight from Frankfurt to Croatia was expected to fly from Hahn Airport this morning.
Ryanair released a statement saying:
“This flight from Dublin to Zadar (13 July) diverted to Frankfurt Hahn due to an inflight depressurisation. In line with standard procedure, the crew deployed oxygen masks and initiated a controlled descent. The aircraft landed normally and customers disembarked, where a small number received medical attention as a precaution.
“Customers were provided with refreshment vouchers and hotel accommodation was authorised, however there was a shortage of available accommodation. Customers will board a replacement aircraft which will depart to Zadar this morning and Ryanair sincerely apologised for any inconvenience.”
