Said NOTAM expires 15th Oct (Thurs) and was put in place 17 Aug. It is good communication, which should help prevent excessive waits. I do not see a problem with it at all. You'll find similar at other busy international airports, as pointed out, but quite why DUB is so important in your point I am not too sure.
They could not bother issue it, have a/c arrive too early and have hundreds of people sat on the tarmac for a good while, that'd be worse, and poor management.
