If you are searching britishairways.com for Aer Lingus reward availability then you will never find any reward seats. britishairways.com does not display IE availability -- you have to call BAEC to book. See the Guide:
Note, currently only flights on BA and oneworld carriers may be booked online. You need to call BA to book redemptions on Aer Lingus or Alaska Airlines.

That said, you can search other sites to see if EI availability may be available so that you can call and book. See these threads:

These threads also seem to show that the EI availability does not seem to be uniform across carriers or search engines.
