Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so there is passport control on arrival from Dublin, but EU citizens pass through quickly. Finnish border officers rarely ask questions beyond confirming nationality.
For stays beyond 3 months, register your right of residence at the Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) online or in person. Registration is free for EU citizens.
