Ryanair flight departure/arrival time changed significantly after booking

So we booked flights to Lanzarote for next July a few weeks back. We specifically picked these flights and these days because they had reasonable departure and arrival times for our 3 young children. We are even flying out/back on a Monday so having to take extra day annual leave but we figured it would be worth it if the kids wouldn't be in horrible form. 

What we booked:

Outbound

Dep - 15:10 

Arr - 19:25

Return

Dep - 14:05

Arr - 18:10

What it now says in Ryanair app:

Outbound

Dep - 19:45 

Arr - 23:55

Return

Dep - 20:00

Arr - 23:59

I never got any email about this change but I'm guessing with Ryanair they probably have something in the small print about them being allowed to change the departure/arrival times!? Is there anything I can do here, I'm guessing getting a refund and booking Aer Lingus instead is out of the question?

Go onto chat, you can probably get a refund/rebook if times don't suit you.

Thanks for the suggestion, just got off chat with them and it's all sorted. It seems our flights did move to later in the day and they released earlier flights(Different flight numbers) that roughly matched what our original flight times were. I asked to be changed to those earlier flights and they did it. That was a lot easier and pain free than I expected 😅
