My question is, will I be allowed to enter Dublin, Ireland for a two week holiday WITH him? I will have proof of return tickets etc etc
Thanks
Any denied entry stamp in a passport does not go down well with immigration officials anywhere. I'd suggest applying for a visa, explain your situation, and the circumstances under which you were denied entry and show that you are a bona-fide tourist. The other thing to remember is that Ireland and the UK have an open border policy so they would likely see you attempting to enter Ireland as a backdoor way into the UK.
