I agree with Pogonation......I tried the Etihad and Emirates route to Dublin from BKK but went back to TG as the two shorter flights interrupted my sleep patterns and I like to sleep for about 8-9 hours solid, but always travel in First so sleep is very comfortable.
I can pick Paris, Heathrow, Frankfurt etc for the short onward hop to Dublin, which is far more preferable to me than the (often lengthy) wait in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
