The countries of Britain and Ireland form what is called the Common Travel Area. Citizens of these countries do NOT need passports to cross the border.
However, citizens of other countries most definitely do. In reality, passports are almost never checked at the border, but it is legally the responsibility of the traveller to ensure his/her passport is checked when entering the country. This could be an issue if passport control on exit is in force.

Im from Northern Ireland which is part of the uk. You could hardly spot the border driving into ROI. There are no checks nowadays.
So in that sense no, however coming from the mainland into Ireland most airline companies require Photo Id to secure your tickets and suggest Passports or Licenses. Check with them first.

No, you do not need a passport to enter Ireland from the uk,....eu open borders an all that. some travel companies might require your passport as ID, but in reality a full driving licence will do. unless you use ryanair who have a strict policy on ID

Ireland is in Europe and by law you need no passport but like all European countries that is the theory, in practise they want to see your passport

no but airlines do require photo id like driving licence or something official.
I always take mine to Ireland with me and last time I got ferry they were doing checks.
Speak to airline or ferry company but UK driving licence should be fine cause a flight to Ireland is classed as an internal flight.

If you have a driving licence with photo ID then some airlines companies will allow you to use that, otherwise its a passport.

No you don't need a passport if your a uk resident. But you do need photo identity to prove who you are. A photo driving license will be adequate.

If your getting a direct flight to the South yes. If your flying to the North no. You can then simply drive to the south if you want, there are no border checkpoints or anything like that anymore
