So, the answer can be found by checking which gates your flight departs from - if B-gate then yes, if not, no. Of course you should also be able to get the answer even more simply by asking EI....
This statement is not necessarily 100% true. I flew out of Dublin Sunday morning from the B-gates and we did not preclear. Now, I was flying on AA who it seems NORMALLY flies out of the D terminal, which could have had something to do with it. I guess it's really a case of YMMV.
