RE: Dublin airport - remember you can also pre-clear US immigration at Dublin and Shannon, so when you arrive in the US you either go straight out of the airport, or straight on to your connecting flight as though you were a US citizen.
Aer Lingus codeshare with JetBlue, and the major US carriers have daily flights to the east coast, allowing connections into Canada and central America too. So if you'd have to travel to Manchester or London for your flight, you may as well hop on a regional flight (less people to share the plane with!) instead - its no longer a journey overall, with less standing in queues!
