Where to obtain Irish passport stamp when entering from Northern Ireland?

Accepted answer

So, just found the following on the INIS website:

If you arrive via the border with Northern Ireland, you must report to an immigration officer at Burgh Quay Registration Office Dublin or your local Garda SΓ­ochΓ‘na (police) station as soon as possible.

I've noticed a common belief here on Travelstack that, due to the Common Travel Area, you need to do nothing as long as you were admitted to the UK. That is then clearly not the case.

If you look at the Aliens (Amendment) Order, 1975 , point 5 has the following:

5. (1) An alien coming from a place outside the State other than Great Britain or Northern Ireland shall, on arrival in the State, present himself to an immigration officer for leave to land.

My understanding is that a non-EU national does not need to be stamped if the traveller have been landed in the UK (given permission to enter) and is travelling direct from the UK to the Republic of Ireland.
