Ireland: border controls
artdoc May=1993

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. Guardian, 9.2.93.
