| Jun 22, 2019 at 1:59 | comment | added | kiradotee | @phoog I'm not so sure but I believe from my last flight to Dublin there wasn't an option to simply transit within Dublin Airport, and similarly to the US one has to enter Ireland (i.e. pass Irish immigration) before being on their merry way. I would hence strongly advise OP against travelling via Dublin in his circumstances. | |
| Jun 21, 2019 at 18:11 | comment | added | phoog | @MJeffryes what is the risk? The traveler will have left both the UK and the common travel area by the end of the trip. Do you think Irish border officials will screen the passenger in Ireland? UK officers certainly will not. Why would Irish officers stop her from proceeding to her flight? | |
| Jun 21, 2019 at 17:21 | comment | added | MJeffryes | I think even if you don't go through Irish immigration, it is still risky. The UK Border Force might not see a flight to Dublin as a proper departure (since if admitted, you'd be in the CTA and could cross by land into Northern Ireland). | |
