You will definately need some form of photo ID... you are travelling internationally!

It will save a lot of trouble if you carry it with you -- assuming you are travelling by air.
You need photo-id to travel by plane these days, and a passport is best.
Legally you do not need a passport to travel between the Irish Republic and the UK, and Heathrow had a separate mini-terminal in T1 for travel to/from Ireland that bypassed customs and immigration, and landing at Dublin you by passed immigration. But they have reorganised Dublin airport and now you go through the same path as travellers from other countries so you see an immigration officer. Quickest way past them is to wave a passport.
And on your return to UK some times they deliver you to a internal arrivals (i.e no immigration/customs) other times they don't.
I have travelled by air without a passport (I forgot) without any problems but that was before the present enhanced security.

If you are from the UK you dont need a passport to travel to Ireland either, Northern Ireland or the Republic. This is because there is an agreement between the UK and Ireland, I think its called a passport waver. However if you are going by air, most of the large air lines require a formal form of ID. This is usually a driving licence at the least. However you should check with the air line to make sure as diffrent companise have a diffrent policy.

No you don't need your passport, following on from a tri-nation agreement signed back in the 1940s or 1950s, that allows people travelling from UK to enter Ireland without needing a passport. However you need some form of valid ID, and a passport is always going to be accepted, whereas airlines have different ideas as to what they will accept. So legally you don't need one, but practically you should.

Yes, Dublin is in Ireland, which is a different country & not part of the UK (Northern Ireland is), so you will need your passport

No you don't but if you are flying you need to produce a government issued photo ID for example Photo Card Driving Licence, Passport, Citizen Card. I have just recently been to Dublin from Manchester and i used my Photo Driving Licence the airline was fine with it. If in doubt just check with the company you are travelling with and they will tell you. It is usually in their terms and conditions.

there is no need for a passport within the EU, an official photo ID of whatever nature will do just fine.
