Narrative:

On a repos flight from nantes, france, we landed on runway 10 at dublin international. I was the PNF. We cleared the runway on taxiway E3-H2 and were told to 'hold short of runway 16/34.' as we approached the runway, the runway lights were not on and there was no 'runway 16/34' sign. We stopped immediately after crossing the runway and asked ground control for progressive taxi instructions. We were given directions to our parking spot by ground control. No mention of the runway incursion was made by us -- the pilots, or by dublin ground control. Neither of us pilots saw the runway we crossed, runway lights, or a runway sign. We did see some amber blinking lights further ahead of us on the taxiway, which we thought was runway 16/34, and we were going to stop there, when we realized we had already crossed runway 16/34.

Title: A SUPPOSED RWY INCURSION IN A NIGHT OP BY A TAXIING LR45 AT EIDW, FO.

Narrative: ON A REPOS FLT FROM NANTES, FRANCE, WE LANDED ON RWY 10 AT DUBLIN INTL. I WAS THE PNF. WE CLRED THE RWY ON TXWY E3-H2 AND WERE TOLD TO 'HOLD SHORT OF RWY 16/34.' AS WE APCHED THE RWY, THE RWY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND THERE WAS NO 'RWY 16/34' SIGN. WE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AFTER XING THE RWY AND ASKED GND CTL FOR PROGRESSIVE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS. WE WERE GIVEN DIRECTIONS TO OUR PARKING SPOT BY GND CTL. NO MENTION OF THE RWY INCURSION WAS MADE BY US -- THE PLTS, OR BY DUBLIN GND CTL. NEITHER OF US PLTS SAW THE RWY WE CROSSED, RWY LIGHTS, OR A RWY SIGN. WE DID SEE SOME AMBER BLINKING LIGHTS FURTHER AHEAD OF US ON THE TXWY, WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS RWY 16/34, AND WE WERE GOING TO STOP THERE, WHEN WE REALIZED WE HAD ALREADY CROSSED RWY 16/34.
