Just looked at booking home on 6/22. We leave Heathrow at 0850. Scheduled to arrive in Dublin at 1015. Depart for Boston at 1135. Reading through information and saw that we must go through PreClearance in Dublin. There are six of us. All have Global Entry. Is this enough time to deplane, do PreClearance, and then board flight home?

That should be fine if all goes to plan. really, one wants to minimize the time spent post-pre-clearance. That gate area is not a pleasant place to be.
You'll go through another security check before pre-clearance, so be prepared for that.

If Aer Lingus sold you the ticket, then they believe it can be done.

Can't promise, but one time we had a connecting flight from UK via Ireland with PreClearance, the area was crowded and they gave priority to passengers on our flight to help us get boarded on time. This was in Shannon and a few years ago, but we appreciated it.

Is it a SINGLE ticket?
If not, and if you have checked bags, you may not have a happy experience

We also did this several years ago on Aer Lingus on one ticket. London to Dublin to JFK. The line wss long long long. Airline staff called out those with connecting flights and also had our names and gate info on a TV monitor. It was very tight but they did great job of getting it done.
