Ireland has announced that EC nationals arriving at Dublin and Cork airports and Rosslare and Ringaskiddy ferry ports will in future only have to "wave" their unopened passports. Conventional controls are being maintained at Shannon airport where most non- EC flights land. This marks a break from the position previously maintained by the Irish and UK governments on the need to maintain passport controls. The UK withdrew its offer to initiative a "wave" in December as this is seen as the first step to abolishing controls altogether.
