(c) non-nationals who are family members of a Union citizen and holders of a document called “Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen”, as referred to in Article 10 of the Directive of 2004.
Even better is if you travel with your wife to Dublin airport. If you and she are carrying your marriage certificate, then you can at all times prove you are legally in Ireland.
He plans to travel to Turkey initially by himself, will be joined by Irish wife later then travel back via Dublin Airport.
When he travels down to Dublin, by bus, when not accompanied by wife is what am unsure of. You know there's a supposed border between the two political divides but to many people it doesn't exist.
What if on the day of travel there happens to be a random immigration check, which happens, and he produces his UK residence card.
I would like you to picture that scenario, what happens? does he quote the above Law?
