Sorry Tubby - Dublin is not a "thou shalt CDA or else" airport, but the point I was trying to make was that the way point merge at DUB is structured in terms of distances, when given direct LAPMO (10nm on the ILS) from anywhere on the arc, you are slightly high and fast on profile, especially when one has a tailwind.

I think point merge will make doing a CDA (from the level segment on the arc) fairly simple, though as a driver not a controller I obviously don't know the ins and outs of the plans.
