This is disgraceful...they really ought to have booked you onto flights from JFK or Newark to Ireland via London. This is the route with the most capacity from the New York area. I find it hard to believe that they have left you stranded this amount of time.

US airlines offer little protection to travellers. When travelling to Europe, it is almost never the right decision to fly on a US based airline. European legislation on European based carriers offers more protection than US based airlines. It is little use now, but in future it is better to book with Aer Lingus or BA if travelling to Dublin.
