Blimey. That appears to be true.
This is for plain DUB-JFK:
Tax: EI YQ surcharge €13.94
Tax: USDA APHIS Fee $5.00
Tax: US Immigration Fee $7.00
Tax: US Customs Fee $5.50
Tax: Irish Passenger Charge €16.95
Tax: Irish Air Travel Tax €3.00
Tax: Irish Inspection/Pre-Clearance Charge €7.50
Tax: US International Arrival Tax $16.30
Between the shorthaul YQ, the APD and the Heathrow PSC you can save £112 by starting from DUB. And a further £60 in J class.
JFK-DUB is even cheaper. Less than $30.
