Irish law regarding codeine syrup

According to the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland publication for Guidance for Retail Pharmacy Businesses (2017 p 2-6),

"...in Irish law, codeine is classed as Schedule 5 under the Controlled Drug Regulations meaning that it is available to patients over the counter in pharmacies under supervision of a pharmacist who should make the patient aware of the side effects, especially the sedating nature of codeine and emphasise the addictive potential of the drug..."

Airport Security Rules

According to the security rules of the Dublin Ireland Airport, you can bring "over the counter" codeine syrup past security if it is not more than 100 ml and presented in a one litre transparent bag separately at screening. This is intended to allow you to use the medicine during your flight, as needed.

Q. Can I bring my cough medicine or nose spray in my hand luggage?

A. Yes, provided these items are in containers not more than 100ml and presented in a one litre transparent bag separately at the passenger security screening point. If these items are not essential for use during your flight we strongly recommend that you pack them into your checked in luggage.
