"Lifted Dublin into the top 5" means fifth place, presumably
. Unclear what the exact metric is that's being referred to (profitability, profit per passenger, number of destinations, quality of corporate-gift swag...) In terms of passenger experience (I know, I know...) I'd definitely put DUB behind CPH, OSL, and ARN for starters.
