That is the lounge BA use. You don't have any other options really, though I suppose they'll let you in to the DAA lounge in Terminal 2 if you wanted to walk down there.

It is only one you can pick and it is the Executive Lounge run by the airport. It is just after security up the stairs. Not a great lounge tbh.

Currently sat in here and it's appalling. Considering the number of BA and Aer Lingus flights between London and Dublin I'm surprised they haven't got a lounge here...!
Is the one in terminal 2 better? I could walk down...

The best one I've been to is the 51st and Green Lounge which is after US Pre-Clearance, so only accessed by those on flights to the US. That is also operated by the airport, so they can do better. (Not been to the East Lounge also DAA operated but former Etihad - apparently that's also good - it's for flights East - ie - Emirates, Qatar, Etihad).
That T1 lounge is the former BMI lounge. BA should have kept it - pre-pandemic they were up to 13 or 14 flights per day out of Dublin.

Yeah .. now that Dublin have their security issues sorted out there's no reason to turn up early to go to the Lounge for sure .. it's pretty poor ( and really bad when it's busy like it is during the middle of the day very often )

As others have said lounge choice in Dublin is poor. The T1 Exec lounge being on a par with the T1 aesthetic generally, it offers walk in access so is usually rammed and the offering of food and drink poor all day. The 51st and Green in T2 US pre clearance area is the best I've used, just about qualifies as adequate but still not somewhere you really want to spend an extended period of time.

I wish BA put more value on a good network of their own lounges.
