PE on shorthaul is just nonsense. Otherwise from DUB I might just as well fly EI.
Or City Jet from LCY... free drinks (inc alcohol) and sandwiches in Y on my Monday flight with them...

Only downside was 1 carry on bag limit... but at GBP170rtn vs. GBP400+ on BMI was kind of a no brainer.... I wonder when LHR-DUB flights will be cheaper than transatlantic flights again....
