Customs
Visitors to Ireland from the United Kingdom and other EU countries are not required to make a declaration to customs at their place of entry. However, certain goods are prohibited or restricted to protect health and the environment; restricted goods include meat and poultry. 

Customs operate green and red channels at most ports and airports. If you need to declare goods over the duty and tax-free allowances for non-EU visitors you must use the red channel. Pass through the green channel if you have nothing to declare.   

For goods obtained within the EU 
Although there are now no limits imposed on importing tobacco and alcohol products from one EU country to another, travellers should note that they may be required to prove at customs that the goods purchased are for personal use only. 

For goods obtained outside the EU 
The following goods may be imported by persons over the age of 17 without incurring customs duty:

• 800 cigarettes or 400 cigarillos or 200 cigars or 1kg of tobacco; 
• 10 liters of spirits (more than 22%) or 20 liters of intermediate products (eg port, sherry, etc, but not sparkling wine) or
• 90 liters of wine (of which only 60l can be sparkling) or 110 liters of beer; 
• 50g of perfume and 250ml of eau de toilette; 
• other dutiable goods to the value of Euro 40.63.
