I've always been told the taxiways in Dub are not able to support an A380 and would be crushed! Not enough room for them to turn safely either
It'll interesting to see how the A380 manages at SNN tomorrow. Some of the taxiway's there are nor particularly wide
Interesting comment's.

Perhaps some light reading is needed.

Per AIP
Shannon Taxiways are 23M wide.

Dublin all main taxiways are 23M wide too.
E6 in Dublin is the high speed exit and its 30M wide.

Both airports runways and main taxiways are well capable of handling the A380.

If there is to be any issues it will be on the ramp where the wing tip lines are.
