Somewhere in between I suppose. A "contact centre agent" based in Manchester, who confirmed the answer to my question twice via email.
I don't know how intimately familiar they were with Irish customs regulations, of course.
There are also another load of regulations to do with that flight because it goes onto Scotland. So there is different baggage search requirements and you also have to get the once over by the Garda.
I won't argue with this, as I understand the aircraft does continue on to GLA after arriving in CFN (but with a different flight number).
