In regards to the Schengen Borders, nope, not allowed:
> When crossing an external border, European Union (EU) citizens and other persons enjoying the right of free movement within the EU (such as the family members of an EU citizen) undergo a minimum check. This minimum check is carried out to establish their identity on the basis of their travel documents and consists of a rapid and straightforward verification of the validity of the documents and a check for signs of falsification or counterfeiting.
> However, on a non-systematic basis, when carrying out minimum
checks on persons enjoying the Community right of free movement,
border guards may consult national and European databases
in order to ensure that such persons do not represent a
genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to the internal
security, public policy, international relations of the Member
States or a threat to the public health.
All they typically do is look at your passport to determine whether it's counterfeit. Not allowed to systematically record, lookup or otherwise any EU citizen. While they can periodically look stuff up, if you aren't a threat to the member state you are going to, they probably still won't stop you.
Within the EU:
> Irrespective of nationality, any person may cross the internal borders at any crossing-point without checks being carried out.
If you go to the UK / Ireland, you will have the same treatment, quick look at your passport and keep walking. If you hold an Irish passport and go through the airport in Dublin, it seems holding your passport up to the officer in question is enough, don't even break step as you walk through. In London, they will hold and look at your passport but usually won't ask you a question.
