Firstly thank you all that took the time to help with advise. As a return courtesy I thought I would let you know what we are going to do about it all. Pretty much what Anilv suggested. That is she has been to her Doctor and who has written a letter stating all her Medications and what they are for with his contact details included. A couple of the opioid based drugs she takes as needed will be left home and sourced in Ireland if required. The others she has to take so will take a double dose before landing then declare them on entry and if they are are confiscated well bad luck and again will purchase more on arrival in Ireland. She has a letter to explain that to a local GP too. We are hoping they may get held in storage then given back to her on departing Dubai but don't know if that is possible as they are expensive.
The form suggested by Emma R we were aware of thanks anyway but no use to us as it takes up to 5 days for a reply and they leave tomorrow.
So that is it, we will see how they go.
As a future reference would anyone know if the same restrictions to medical drugs apply in Qatar? As flying with them is a option next time we go to Europe or would we be better to route via Singapore,Bangkok or Hong Kong?
Thanks again
