I know FR don't offer connections, but with 2.5 hours planned on the ground DUB I should have had plenty of time to make my onward flight. As for who pays for the Connections security search, surely that should be a service that any airport provides free of charge, especially one that has "DUBHUB" logos all over the place. It would have been interesting if the staff at Connections had refused me entry with a valid Boarding Pass,but I'll never know because I'll never be repeating the transit experiment again.
