Besides, arriving from a Schengen- to a non-Schengen country, you have to go through a passport control. There is none at ORK when arriving from DUB.
As has been pointed out, if you arrive in the "prefab" (D80+?) or indeed in the A pier, there is no separation of arriving and departing passengers so if your onward flight is going from the same area there's nothing to physically prevent you from going to your gate.

(and yes, this does mean that if there is no passport control at ORK when arriving from DUB, and if your CRL-DUB flight arrived in the A pier and your DUB-ORK flight left from the same pier, you would have successfully entered Ireland from the Schengen area without any passport check. I guess the only reason this isn't an even huger immigration loophole than it already is is that you can't be sure in advance that the flights will use the same pier.)
