Used them in T2 a few weeks ago and the check in area has improved greatly. EI staff were also saying they had very few problems with the system and passengers found it great. They have more less completely removed all queuing barriers which at peak times extended into the check in area used by other carriers.
Great to see future services can also be purchased and Cork is next.

Dublin Airport Invests €2M In New Self-Service Check-In Kiosks To Improve Passenger Experience
Aer Lingus, Ryanair, CityJet And Flybe Passengers To Initially Benefit From New Technology; T2 Touchless System A World First
Dublin Airport has invested €2 million to improve the check-in experience for four of its major airline customers.
Dublin Airport has installed 62 new self-service kiosks (SSKs) between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 that will allow the airport and its airline customers to process greater numbers of passengers by increasing the peak check-in capacity.
Passengers using the new self-service bag drop kiosks can, depending on the airline, check in for their flight, tag their own bag and dispatch it into the baggage system much faster than would be the case using traditional check-in desks.
The new SSKs are initially being used by Aer Lingus, Ryanair, CityJet and Flybe passengers, but several other airlines at Dublin Airport have already expressed interest in using the same technology.
Terminal One now has 15 self-service bag drop units available in check-in Area 13, which is the area used by Ryanair. There are three further self-service bag drop units in check-in Area 7 for common-use by other airlines. Passengers from CityJet and Flybe will be the first to enjoy the benefits of these SSKs. Terminal Two has 44 new self-service units in the Aer Lingus check-in area.
“This €2 million investment streamlines and simplifies the baggage check-in process for passengers,” said Dublin Airport Managing Director Vincent Harrison. “It will reduce check-in queue times and also increase the overall capacity at check-in in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2,” he added.
Dublin Airport, working with its technology provider Rockwell Collins in conjunction with Pulse.aero, delivered a tailored process to suit each airline. “While we used the same technology in both terminals, it was adapted to specifically meet the needs of our airline customers,” Mr Harrison said. “The new self-service systems are already having a significant impact on check-in times at Dublin Airport,” he added.
“This project is one of a large number of investments that Dublin Airport is making across both terminals, at the boarding gates and on the airfield to add capacity and to continue to improve the passenger experience,” according to Mr Harrison. “The self-service kiosk and bag drop installation underlines our ongoing commitment to ensuring that passengers enjoy the very latest technological advances in their journey through Dublin Airport.”
The 15 new self-service units in T1 one use a one-step approach. This allows passengers that have checked in online to take their bags straight to the self-service bag drop, where they can print their bag tags, attach the tags and then dispatch the bag straight onto the baggage system.
In T2, there are now has 32 self-service kiosks and 12 self-service bag drop units in the Aer Lingus check-in area. Passengers first use their reference number to print a boarding card and/or weigh their bag and print a bag tag. Once tagged, the luggage can be taken to the self-service bag drop position and the bag is automatically dispatched.
The bag drop units in Terminal 2 are the world's first touchless bag drops kiosks, as they automatically detect that the tag is attached, and the weight is correct and then dispatch the bag without the need for the passenger to touch any button or screen.
“Touchless bag drop means that passengers can drop their bag at a self-service machine that requires only minor user interaction, thus eliminating many of the steps they have to deal with when checking in,” said Chris Forrest, vice president of Airport Systems for Rockwell Collins.
To make the system as easy to use as possible for passengers the new kiosks are fitted with audio prompts for visually impaired passengers, and availability indicators so that passengers can immediately see which devices are free.
The new system has also been designed so that in the future there is the potential for passengers to be able to make payments at the kiosks for services such as additional bags fast track security and lounge access.

Dublin's main runway 28/10 will be closed on weekday nights for 15 months from September for maintenance - details here. Flights after 11PM will be using R16/34. So far so routine, but it means that late flights may be routed over South East Dublin, the posher areas of the city where the pop stars, politicians and TV presenters live. By the time departing planes are over Dartry, where Bono and The Edge live, they should be high enough as to not be a problem ...

On Thursday the local council announced a major review into the new runway and it will examine the impact of:
* - How conditions around operation will impact its efficiency and operability.
* - Benefits of a longer runway of 3,400m or 3,700m
* - EU rules on noise since conditions were attached
* - Local Area Plan to be updated to reflect future development
Not due to report until next January but might get the two operation conditions removed by relevant people.
Suggestion numbers will pass 27 million this year also.

Out of interest what's the comparison to H1 2015?
Was the H1 2016 actual tracking forecast or exceeding plan?
Was the H1 2016 actual tracking forecast or exceeding plan?
H1 16 - 13 million
daa don't really do public predictions but the figures match capacity increase pretty well and considering no major EI growth over the period where for example next year there will be 3 or 4 more A333 operating across the pound.

16JUL16 Update ? UNITED W16 International Operation Changes :: Routesonline
Note it was x1 daily last winter, second only added after EI announced daily EWR service.
IAD looks more less the same as last winter.
____
2 class was heavily used before the second daily was added so no surprise they plan to return it for the evening flight.
Newark – Dublin 29OCT16 – 08MAR17 Service operates 1 daily instead of 2 daily, however operational aircraft switches from 757 to 767-400ER (777-200ER from 19DEC16 to 15FEB17 and from 28FEB17-8MAR17)
IAD looks more less the same as last winter.

Emirates will use a 2 class B77W from 1st January on EK 163/164

Just had a cheeky look at UA's B772 business class...10 abreast vs 5 abreast on EI A333 to EWR, I must be making some mistake here right?
The 2 class B772 is 50 J, 217 Y. The J class is 2-2-2 with 2 rows just 2-2.
The B764 is 2-1-2
