Is one hour long enough to get a connecting flight at Dublin airport?

I hope to fly from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, landing at 12.30 and have another flight to France leaving at 13.30. Both flights are with Ryan Air, so both flights arrive and leave from the same terminal. On the Ryan Air web site they are not connecting flights. I plan to have only hand luagge, so don't need to wait for bags but presumably still need to go through immigration and passport control.
Is it worth buying the Fast Track service at the airport and is it enough to hope the Newcastle flight is not delayed?

Otherwise it is a train down to Stansted and off to France that way!
Thank you.

If the only option is to book two separate tickets and connect in Dublin, I would stay overnight in Dublin.

The consequences of missing a connecting flight is that you are both out the cost of the original ticket and you will have to buy a new onward ticket at the full walk-up fare.

Where in France are you flying? There seem to be lots of cheap fares from Newcastle to Paris.
