Are visa-free visitors to Ireland less likely to be denied entry when compared to the UK?

UK entry refusals are marked in passports, using a date stamp across which two lines are drawn.

When Irish officials see this, if they suspect the passenger could be using Ireland as a mere backdoor, they will refuse entry.

Even stated in Timatic:

Visitors holding passports containing a British inadmissible
stamp could be refused entry.

That said, in my experience Irish border officials are way more lax than their British counterparts, and may well not notice a UK refusal stamp.

So all-in-all, this backdoor strategy could work (if you get on the plane in the first place – a meticulous check-in agent could refuse boarding to someone with a UK refusal stamp), but it’s not guaranteed to.
