On their website it says that bag drop opens 2 hours before departure, but if the desk is open will they take it?
Hmm. My (albeit limited) experience of DUB is that you'd probably make the 1400 flight based on the following:

- TATL eastbound flights often arrive early
- DUB is really not that busy - and I've never seen long waits at bag claim or immigration
- your bag drop deadline for FR is 40 minutes

I'd be surprised if you weren't in the queue for FR bag drop somewhere between 12:30 and 13:00... provided, of course, there's no delays...

Bear in mind FR are pretty strict on the carryon bag size as well - don't expect to be able to take onboard what passes for carryon in the US!
