Depends where you are from and where you are starting from. For example if you are already in England/Scotland/Wales (GB), you can jump on a ferry to Northern Ireland (part of UK) without a passport. Once in Northern Ireland, you can cross the border freely into Republic (walk, car, bus, train - whatever way you choose) - there is no formal border crossings anymore. You only really know you've crossed because the road signs have changed (Miles to Kilometres). Not exactly sure what legal position is though if you're non-EU citizen and the Gardaí (police) stop you later on?

If you are not a British or an Irish citizen, you will need a passport, and possibly a visa, to visit anywhere in Ireland. You do not need a passport to travel between the UK and Ireland as there is a bi-lateral passport agreement between the two countries.
An EU identity document is not sufficient to enter either country, although these may be accepted by some airlines as proof of ID. These IDs are acceptable when travelling between countries which are party to the 1985 Schengen Agreement.

Hi Jimbo it depends where you are from if you are classed as an alien you will need a passport to travel to both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland , UK citizens do not require a passport to visit either.

If you are an E.U. citizen an E.U. identity card will be accepted instead of a passport, but as most people in the E.U. carry Passports as a matter of course if flying into the country, if traveling by ship / ferry from France or Wales an id card will sufice.
A E.111 for medical coverage is always a good idea to for visiting E.U. citizens as well.

If you're from outside the U.K you'll need a passport, no exceptions. If you're from the U.K and you are going to fly in all the airlines will only accept passport. If going by ferry any valid photo I.D is acceptable

If you're from the UK, you can travel anywhere as long as you have photo ID like a driving licence. If you're not from the UK, you need a passport
