Abstract

Abstract This chapter examines the Immigration (Control of Entry through Republic of Ireland) Order 1972, which came into operation on 1 January 1973. Article 3 of the Order applies to any person (other than a citizen of the Republic of Ireland) who arrives in the United Kingdom on an aircraft which began its flight in that Republic if they entered that Republic in the course of a journey to the United Kingdom which began outside the common travel area and was not given leave to land in that Republic in accordance with the law in force there. Meanwhile, Article 4 applies to any person who does not have the right of abode in the United Kingdom under section 2 of the Immigration Act 1971 and is not an Irish citizen, and who enters the United Kingdom on a local journey from the Republic of Ireland after having entered that Republic. Article 5 applies to any person who enters the United Kingdom on a local journey from the Republic of Ireland after having entered the Republic of Ireland on coming from a place outside the common travel area; or after leaving the United Kingdom while having limited leave to enter or remain there which has since expired. Finally, Article 6 does not apply to any person who arrives in the United Kingdom with leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom which is in force but which was given to the person before their arrival.
