Tarmac delay

FR from DUB to LIS this morning. Fog in LIS earlier overcast now. Delays at LIS reducing.

My question. Why would FR board us onto an aircraft where they knew there was going to be a 2.5 hour delay and leave us there where there is, as stated by the pilot, no prospect of the delay improving or an earlier departure slot? Surely it would be better to leave PAX in the terminal building where they have more room and access to facilities. Are there any policies in place for passengers in this situation. For example at what point do they have to return to gate or offer food etc Thank you for your help.
