okay here goes...
The Republic of Ireland and the UK have a common travel area (the CTA) which means that citizens of either country can travel within the area without a passport however this does not apply to non-citizens. There is no common visa available for the CTA and so anyone who is not an Irish or British citizen (this means UK citizen not British dependent territory or any of the other varieties of "not quite UK" british citizenship) will need a visa for the relevant country as though they were travelling from a third country.
A wrinkle in this is that non-residents in either country may have to return to their home country to obtain said visa eg an Indonesian in Dublin who is not a legal resident in Ireland but is just present on a non-resident visa (eg business visa, tourism) cannot go to the British embassy in Dublin in order to obtain a UK visa to visit Newry or Belfast but must instead fly back first to the British embassy in Jakarta to apply (probably via London :-).
I Kid you not.
As a result of trying to maintain this CTA The UK and Ireland opted out of the Schengen Agreement on a European free travel zone so the same absurdity can happen to anyone visiting either of the 2 states that wants to travel on most of the rest of the EU.
However once you get residency (work visa, student visa) then it becomes a little easier.

I think that technically you do not need a visa to travel between the UK and Rep of Ireland but if you fly in with a Pakistani Passport they will give you a lot of hassle. If you really want to visit the easiest way is to fly into Belfast and come over the border if you want to see the republic.

Speak to the Irish embassy in London as I'm not sure. I would think you need an Irish visa but the Anglo-Irish agreements allowed movement between the UK and Ireland - I believe this was one of the arguments Ireland used not to sign up to the Schengen agreements.

yes, because the visa is issued for the uk only and not for the Republic of Ireland, what you could do is give the Irish Embassy in london a ring they will be most helpful.from t in dublin.

Residing in a broad bay, Dublin lies between Howth in the north and the headland of Dalkey to the south and the River Liffey split the city in two creating from this town an interesting town that you will have the possibility with hotelbye to see it. Dublin has provided the planet such distinguished literary like: Yeats, Beckett, Joyce, Shaw, and Wilde. Dublin was a UNESCO Town of Literature this season so is definitely an intriguing city to visit particularly when you intend to visit Bewley's Oriental Café ;.Several could say that Bewley's Oriental Café is the jewel in the crown. Bewley's Oriental Café is an establishment that has been built in 1927.

If your visa is only for the UK then YES you will need to get hold of the
Irish embassy and get a visa.

you may provide extra counsel Dublin is interior the Republic of eire, it quite is not area of the united kingdom - a British visa won't get you into the Republic of eire, in case you may pass to the Republic of eire you may touch the Irish Embassy

Dublin is in Northern Ireland and it is part of Great Britain and therefore if you have visa for GB then you should be fine to travel there. If you are traveling to EIRE then check the home office if it is ok to travel there. also, check if you have mutiple visa, you don't want to leave and then find out that you can't enter the UK on return..
