Singapore IAH MAN DUB

Hey All,
Flying in business ending up in Dublin via Singapore and connecting with Aer Lingus. Have a 2.5 hr layover in MAN and was wondering if there is anywhere I could shower in preparation for driving to Cork and then a meeting. Not sure what normal rules are for Lounge access for arrivals and if any in MAN have shower whether paid or something I would have access to with my ticket. I am also a Start Alliance Gold if that matters.
Thanks for your advice!

Star Alliance Gold will give you lounge access in MAN but I'm not sure if the lounge has showers.

Ya looking on manchester airport and lounge buddy none of the 'contracted' lounges appear to have showers listed in their facilities.
FIgured I would ask the experts here.
Thanks!

If you're willing to wait until DUB, according to Loungebuddy the Aer Lingus arrivals lounge has showers available. I presume you'd have access with a biz class ticket.

Incorrect assumption!!!
No shower in a lounge for the OP at MAN or DUB.
On arrival in MAN, SQ does not provide any lounge access.
The Aspire Lounge in MAN that EI uses (as well as many other carriers) receives terrible reviews Lounge at Manchester T1 - Disgrace and has no showers.
If the OP wants a shower, can go to the Radisson Hotel attached to T2 and pay for one there.
And the OP doesn't qualify for the EI Arrivals Lounge in DUB.

It won't because the OP is not departing on a *A flight ... EI is not part of the alliance and there is no Arrivals Lounge.

Thank you for the information! I appreciate it. Will just hang out in the terminal then.

You can try, as that would appear to be the case here. Incidentally, I use the Aspire lounge fairly regularly (as a PP member), and it's not as bad as it's made out. I was there yesterday afternoon, and there were some tables that needed clearing when I arrived, but it was all sorted within 10 minutes.

I believe the 1903 Lounge (former EY Lounge) in MAN T1 has a shower but charges £45 for a visit and space is limited. Using a shower at the Radisson should be cheaper.
