most airlines ask for some form of photographic i.d anyway, if you are from the u.k or eu state a driving licence is fine but it doesn't help getting a passport anyway.

The United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland form what is called a Common Travel Area for Immigration controls. But given the current tensions and fear of terrorist attacks, you'd be naïve not to be expected to produce evidence that satisfactorily establishes your identity and nationality. That is best done by a passport. Failure to establish your identity could mean that you are detained until further checks can be made to establish your credentials.

Residents from the U.K to the Island of Ireland and vice versa do not need passports per se however they are required to satisfy airline regulations. It is for the same reasons that you need a passport to fly from Glasgow to London!

Thanks for asking that question cos I wanted to know.
Have just been made redundant from my firm after 10 years and they are paying me £9,000 sterling, but going to phrase it severance pay cos I have recently been off sick after an operation. Anyway, am a middle aged female and want to take my father and partner to Ireland in the next few weeks after I get paid off. My partner also facies Redundancy of £16,000 if the company accept after 20 years service.

If you're driving from the UK to Ireland, no, just drive over the border.
If you're coming on a ferry, again, no.
If you're flying, some airlines require it as ID.

i have travelled from holyhead to ireland by irish ferries and stena line, didn't need passport this way, though they might ask for I.D. This was few years ago but don't think it's changed.

some airlines might require you to. I've flown to England and back a few times, and although I can't remember the airline, I had to have my passport
