T5 we have seen to many times in the recent past airlines doing things that we know wont work but they still think they will. This may well just be another example. I dont think Smartwings are the smartest airline anyway. They pulled out of Dublin for the summer (peak season) and will be back in the winter. It usually works the other way around.

Yeah, but let’s bear in mind that they only have access to so many aircraft. It is likely that the aircraft that would normally fly to Dublin are going to go somewhere else for the Summer, somewhere where there is even more demand for the flights. When there there is no more demand in the Winter, extra flights will stop and Dublin will get its flight back.
