In the past Ireland didn't allow owners to fly with their pets in cabin. They were only accepted when transported by air freighters. Fortunately, the law has changed and pets can travel in cabin like in the rest of Europe. Now it's up to the airline to decide if they allow pets in cabin. Other airlines allow pets in cabin when flying to Ireland already. For example, Iberia​, Blue Air, KLM and Lufthansa allow small pets to be flying with their owners to Ireland.

Please, update your policies to accept in-cabin pets flying to/from Ireland as per your policy for the rest of the countries in Europe so we can also enjoy to travel with our pets.

Most airlines don't accept flying with pets, but even the ones which accept pets flying across mainland Europe they don't know that the law has changed in Ireland. This adds complexity to a journey which should be enjoyable. It makes the process more expensive and tedious for the owners. Definitely it also stresses more the animals. When travelling as excess baggage the animals are separated from their owners for hours before and after the duration of the flight.
