Now last time I checked Dublin was a LONG way from Liverpool
so pray tell how having its lights could aid the Luftwaffe target
that
city
?

It is due west of Liverpool. See Dublin to the west
then steer due east and you hit it.

Or Holyhead, Colwyn Bay, Birkenhead etc.

Birkenhead is opposite Liverpool, then they see the large cathedral tower
and then the convoy docks are beneath. Birkenhead is part of the Mersey
dock complex and was also heavily bombed.

Fact is Luftwaffe bases were in Norway and France, they werent
about to fly across the entire width of England, cross the Irish Sea
and then come back again. Its just silly.

You obviously don't know. German bases were well into France and they flew
up the Irish Sea to get Liverpool, Belfast and Glasgow. The Norwegian based
planes would go across the North Sea.
