When any non-EEA national presents at a border, an Immigration Officer must determine whether that person should be granted leave to land and gain entry to the State. In performing their duties, an Officer is required to consider all of the circumstances of the individual at the time of entry in line with the provisions of the Immigration Act 2004. Where an Israeli national presents at a border, their request to enter Ireland is considered in the same manner as any other non-EEA national.

Section 4(3) of the Immigration Act 2004 sets out the full range of grounds on which a person may be refused. These include, but are not limited to, persons convicted of criminality and those entry into, or presence in, the State could pose a threat to national security or be contrary to public policy.
