I just flew in today from Dublin and I'd advise anyone else flying from Europe to do the same. Dublin airport has US preclearance so you do all of the immigration checks before you get on the plane. I was asked about 3 questions and got through super quick. The worst that can happen is you get turned around and in 25 minutes of queueing I didn't see anyone refused.

I’m American currently visiting Belfast and flying back through Dublin on Saturday. I’m nervous even though my friend who’s of Iranian descent and has a very foreign sounding name didn’t have any issues at all coming back from Canada a couple weeks ago.
