Managed one can of Guinness in the lounge before boarding.
Only asking as we end up back at DUB on Monday with a B2B booked. After yesterday's experience I'm not sure it's worth the stress for 40+10TPs! But if the Flight Connections route works, we'd be delighted to hear!
Sorry for the late reply.
I ended up abandoning my original outbound B2B and booked the 06:40 flight with Aer Lingus to DUB. That flight subsequently got cancelled and I had to re-book to another earlyish Aer Lingus flight still with a ~3 hours margin. DUB custom was not too bad but, as others have mentioned, security is awful even for Fast Track.
All in all I made it to my ex-EU outbound from DUB but it was full of stress and I won't be using DUB as a starting point any time soon. I did not attempt the Flight Connections as KARFA pointed out that this is pretty useless in DUB.
I still have my final sector to DUB to complete the trip and it is booked as another B2B, I am very tempted to give it a miss now
