Does my 12 year old son need a Visa to travel to Dublin?

Question

I'm a British citizen, living in the UK and planning a trip to Dublin next month.

Does my 12 year old son (who lives with me in the UK) need a Visa to travel to Dublin for 2 days, if he only has a South African passport? (He was born in SA and is NOT on my British passport.)

Many thanks.
