Just one prosecution for failing to produce a passport in four years

More than 4,200 people arrived at Dublin Airport last year with no travel documentation

Another person was charged in 2021 with attempting to leave the country without showing a valid travel document to immigration officers. No conviction was recorded in that case either.

Security sources, immigration experts and the Department of Justice say there are various reasons someone might not be charged for failing to produce a travel document. They also said humanitarian concerns and the administrative burden of prosecuting so many people for a relatively minor offence may play a role in the low number of charges.

Mr Kirwan said these aspects “assumedly” form part of the authorities’ decision-making when considering whether to bring charges or not.
