Is it possible for pay for legroom on Ryanair/Aer Lingus?

Someone told me they have a premium service where you can pay more for a seat with more legroom or if you want to ensure that you are sitting with your family.

I can't see anything online about this.

Anyone ever heard of it?
 
Ryanair don't offer seat selection, but do offer priority boarding (free if you only have hand luggage and check in online). The earlier you get on the plane, the better your chance of a suitable seat.

Aer Lingus offer advance seat selection, either at the end of the booking process, or as a separate transaction afterwards (European flights seem to be handled differently than US flights.). Emergency exit and front row seats cost more. Or you can just checkin online and hope a suitable seat is still available for selection when you do.
 
or buy Premier class tickets if you're flying transatlantic on Aer Lingus
