Irish officials queried the decision of UK port authorities to question famous Irish folk singer Christy Moore in 2004, amid a rise of similar complaints relating to anti-terrorism measures. The singer-songwriter said he was stopped by officers and detained for more than two hours after he got off a ferry from Dublin in the Welsh port of Holyhead in October of that year.

The case was cited alongside broader complaints about increased checks affecting travelers between Ireland and the UK.
