If so would this not add some extra risk compared to using BA to DUB?
That's always possible, but as far as I can tell Aer Lingus don't maintain a full base at either airport, they would almost certainly need to run an aircraft down from DUB or change another flight (and I guess BA could do the same at DUB too, though just as unlikely). But you are right to illustrate the risk.
