How far in advance of a US flight can you use preclearance at DUB?
While travelling through DUB in the mid-morning recently I noticed that there are announcements made for when each US flight can go through pre-clearance, I didn't think to note the timings, so am just wondering if anyone knows how far in advance of departure you can go through.
I'll be travelling to DC later this year with two friends, with Platinum AerClub status I can take 1 guest in to 51st and Green, but I'm just trying to decide whether we'll bother going in at all(and paying for a 3rd person at €35), as I'm not sure if we'll actually have much time to use it. The DC flight leaves at 12:45, and I don't know how busy it'll be/how much time we'll have between pre-clearance and boarding.
Any advice is appreciated!

This is terrible if people can only use the post-preclearance lounge or only use one lounge.

There is no restriction on how early you can make your way through USPC (same day flight obviously).
