Hi b91911.

You have the right to reside in Ireland for a period longer than three months if you are employed, self-employed, enrolled in a course of study or are financially self-sufficient.

Your partner with whom you are in a durable relationship, duly attested, has the same rights as you do, if joining or accompanying you in Ireland.

You need to have documentary evidence to prove that you are in a durable relationship, duly attested.

Upon arrival in Ireland, you should show to the Garda National Immigration Bureau (Irish immigration officials):

• Your passport or National ID card
• Your boyfriend's passport
• Sufficient evidence to prove that you are in a durable relationship, duly attested

With this, your boyfriend's entry cannot be refused unless his character poses a significant risk to the public or he has one of a specific list of serious illnesses.
