With Stobart and flyBe gone there's definitely room for a new operator to make their move. Not sure Eastern could handle the expansion taking over the Lingus regional routes would require and I'm not overly convinced investors would be excited by the prospect, but there's definitely an opportunity there as things open up.

The TATL-layout A321LRs are running regional routes at the moment. If it wasn't such a hassle I'd be tempted to take a little detour to DUB.
A million great ideas...
