You should take your passport with you, irrespective of whether it is checked or not. The republic of ieland and the UK are separate countries. Both are in the EU, so there is freedom of movment for EU citizens. You do not state in your question whether you are an EU citizen, but I assume you are. In that case, carrying a UK passport will be definitive proof that you do not require a visa to enter the irish Republic. However, if you are an British citizen travelling from the uk it is unlikely that your passport will be checked on entry.

This is the correct answer:
If you go on a ferry then "no" you don't need a passport.
If you go by plane then "yes" - this is an airline policy due to security reasons and not a legal requirement.
I've travelled from UK directly to Southern Ireland by Ferry and Plane and that it just how it is!

No need at all. You can travel there passport free. I have been there a couple of times on the ferry & British citizen's are exempt.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: If travelling by airline, you will need photographic identification, i.e., a photographic licence or a photographic ID card, but these may cause problems. YOUR PASSPORT IS THE SAFEST BET. It is not needed to enter Ireland, merely to get on your flight....................

No. You do not need a passport for that although it is not a bad idea to have it with you.
