Doing a bit of research, Aer Lingus will fly me from Dublin to Chicago and back again for EUR663, while over at British Airways, I can get to the same destination for EUR560. They have to fly me to London Heathrow too and it’s still almost 100 Euro cheaper!
I checked prices this morning and a single to Chicago was over EUR800 but that seems to be fixed now.
