Why do flights from London to Dublin sometimes fly west towards south Wales then to Dublin - and other times north towards Manchester then to Dublin?

This will be a decision of air traffic controllers. Many flights coming from London and other parts of Europe that are heading to North America, fly over the south of England and Wales, over the south of Ireland and on across the Atlantic. That can mean that it can be a busy route, so the alternative for London to Dublin flights is to fly north towards Manchester and then across to Dublin.
