EU citizens could face Irish border travel checks

Non-Irish EU citizens living in the Republic of Ireland will have to apply online for pre-travel clearance to cross the Irish border under proposed new legislation.

The bill, now working its way through Westminster and due to come into effect in 2025, has been criticised by Sinn Féin, the SDLP and Alliance.

It is part of the UK's attempt to control immigration post-Brexit.

It has passed the House of Commons but has yet to be voted on by the Lords.

The measure would require all non-Irish EU citizens - and those from Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland - living in the Republic of Ireland to apply for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to cross the border.
