Perhaps DUB is a red herring until they announce the real destination? Failing that, Biman have been rumoured to run JFK or Toronto flights through MAN for years.
I am going to try and post the article. No idea of the veracity - it came up in my Google recommended articles screen.

There is no ET flight to Dublin. You cannot buy a seat to Dublin from ADD. Two reasons: it would be about 4am in Dublin on arrival, and second most critical - they don't stop there on the way back. I think the change is more to do with over capacity to Brussels. They have the Manchester stopper as well as a flight via Vienna. With demand dampened this might be a little too much.
