The more I think about it, the departure time from SNN must be wrong.
I went onto
dublinairport.com; it's showing CO126 as arriving late at 1719. I took at look at
shannonairport.com; it shows CO126 leaving at 1830. It looks like they are using the same equipment and that co.com may not have current information.
The web is just great. Hmmm, let's see, what would Dublin Airport name its website? LOL, and there it is!
If the flight crosses the atlantic and conflicts with the same flight operating on that day, the late flight will be assigned a different flight number for operational purposes. Customers are not aware of this onboard (crew is aware) and a call to CO will provide the necessary parties with the correct information.
I hope this clarifies what might have happened to the flight.
