Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell) As I stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 272 of 17 December 2003 there are immigration controls, which involves passport control, at each seaport at which Irish Sea ferries disembark passengers and each sailing is subject to immigration control.
