Irish Short-stay Visa Waiver Programme

Upvote:1

As I understand the rules, to enter Ireland on the basis of a valid UK visa, you must first enter the UK.

From https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-visit-ireland/short-stay-visa-waiver-programme/ :

“You may be able to visit Ireland, for less than 90 days, without an Irish visa if you can answer “yes” to each of these questions:

Do you have an eligible UK short stay visa?

and

Does your visit to Ireland end before your permission to stay in UK ends (this is granted by an UK immigration official when you pass through UK immigration)?”

You exited the UK and returned to France, thereby ending your permission to stay in the UK. Therefore you cannot answer ‘yes’ to the second question.
