Hi Folks

Many thanks for the prompt replies much appreciated. Just to give an update, travelled through yesterday and it is exactly as VFRonTop said I am afraid.

So no access to the 51st state lounge (post pre-clearance) and if you wanted to pay cash it is 39 Euros. Now having said that a btl of beer and a sandwich at the miserable coffee shop after queuing for 20 mins cost me 15 euros so maybe that is not such a bad deal ;-) ,

Sry I didn’t try the EI lounges pre clearance.

PS: Didn’t bother trying the BA ounge in NCL , I know from previous Cork flights that Aer Lingus / Air Stobart travellers not allowed
