I agree with Senator McDowell that subparagraph (c) uses the term "non-national" but in this wonderful republic of ours it is the prima facie right of an Irish citizen to get back into Ireland. The absence of an Irish passport is not a reason for someone who can otherwise establish that he or she is an Irish national to be refused the right to enter the country. We do not want to prevent someone who has lost his or her Irish passport from being carried or who loses it overboard when the ship is docking, to be made to go back to France unnecessarily.
