Can Irish citizens extend a stay in Turkey?

Do I need an onward ticket to enter Turkey?
Airlines and border officers can ask for proof of onward travel regardless of visa status, and enforcement varies. Neither this dataset nor this page can promise you won't be asked — check ireland.ie and your airline's conditions before departure.
What happens if Irish citizens overstay in Turkey?
Consequences are set by Turkey's immigration rules and can include fines and re-entry restrictions; they sit outside the scope of the Passport Index dataset. Treat the permitted stay as hard and verify specifics on evisa.gov.tr.
