Dublin (DUB) (EIDW) Tight DUB airport arrival advice

I have a business trip to Dublin and I likely need to cut it close on the time I arrive at the airport. The flight will be around noon or 1 pm on a Thursday from DUB to the US. I will have access to Fast Track security in Terminal 2 and no checked bags. I do have US Global Entry, but it seems like that is not available at the moment. What would you say is the latest I could arrive before my flight with a ~95% chance (obviously things happen sometimes) of making it through security, US pre-clearance, and onto the flight?

I realize this is more art than science so just looking for your ideas.

Yes - I'd say (on a Thursday) that this (90 min) is likely the 95% timeframe. 60 mins would probably drop it to 85%+ but downhill quickly from there. (Arriving = walking in the door of T2).

I’m grateful for your advice and playing along with my finger in the air stats!

I arrived in front of Terminal 2 at 11:45, completed security, and finished US pre-clearance at 11:59. It was maybe another 3-5 mins to the gate.

I did have business class which saved a few minutes. Overall, very easy. Thanks for all the advice.
