with my mum, it's in Ireland (Dublin), she has no form of ID shall we say, she has a paper driving licence, she has her disabled badge with a picture on, she has her old passports and still we can't travel, it's her sisters funeral and there are no emergency measures. She is not a seasoned traveller, we can't go by boat as the ferries are cancelled due to high winds and you don't need ID for that form of travel, yet immagrants flow into this country every day (UK)!!
Is this right?

DVLA take 3 wks to produce a photo ID and there is a 6 wk backlog, the fact we have a DVLA office in our town they can't do this as it has to go to Swansea, what another joke and i queued for nearly an hour to find that out....AHHHHHHHHHH!

I know of a similar situation. The person involved caught a flight to Belfast and got an express bus to Dublin. Hope this helps.

You can appeal to the passport office to turn things for new passport around quickly. A friend of mine took 3 days. not sure how long you've got but good luck.
P.s. i think the immagrents without passports probably had to stow away somehow so I wouldn't recommend it.

I agree, it seems very unfair. Can you fly to Northern Ireland, because that would be a domestic flight, then see what the rules are for crossing the border in Ireland?
