Personally, I'd be padding the 90mins out a lot further (if I didn't live in DUB) but the clear point being made is that recommending a back to back is now reckless.
I wouldn't blame BA in isolation for delays. DUB is a heavily congested airport at times, airside, with complex runway/taxy/ramp issues. I've experienced several long-ish delays on departure and arrival.

We always overnight at DUB, but obviously that won't suit everyone and is contrary to the 'B2B' principle.
