Also the TIMATIC information, But check-in staff should have this same data already.
And don't start showing it unless necessary.
As background, Ireland where taken to court by Sean Ambrose McCarthy, before he took the UK to court.
They have been accepting Family resident cards issued under art 10 of 2004/38/EC since then, a number of years ago.
Unfortunately I don't have any link or case number for the Irish Court case.
