  1. no no no


  2. If you are from the UK , then No, but other countries, Yes.

    Sometimes you are asked for ID at the airport after you get your bags.

    A drivers licence would do..

  3. It depends on the airline actually. Ryanair: definitely! BMI, not always, could be a domestic flight. Do you have an EU ID card? That is accepted too.

  4. OK

    Lots of answers and the truth lies in all and most of them.

    In law you do not need a passport to enter the Irish Republic if you are travelling from the UK and you are a UK citizen.

    This is an arrangement between the UK and the Republic of Ireland  (not really known as southern Ireland)

    You do however need to carry a recognised piece of photo ID.

    This is much easier if you have a passport but a driving licence is probably OK.

    Please check with whoever you are travelling as they may have rules that are different.  

    So even though by law you may not require a passport an airline can still insist that you have one in order to identify yourself.

    Good luck and enjoy your stay.

  5. I flew from Manchester to Dublin last week and was asked for my passport.

  6. you need some sort of photo id either passport or driving licence , i live in sothern ireland but am from liverpool .

  7. What the best solution is to bring a pass port if u have one just incase!!!!!!! its mainly flights that look for passport so just bring it, if it was me i would just bring it any way atleast then if u need id for other reasons u have ur passport!!!!!!

  8. Well, it depends where you are flying from.

    Also, quite often you need to show your passport even for internal flights, if you have bought your ticket over the Internet ans it's an electronic ticket.

  9. depends on where you're coming from, in general it's no bother to get in here, especially fom London. i'd bring my passport anyway though.

  10. From the UK-yes.

  11. hi charlotte

    yes you need a passport for s ireland

  12. If you live in the U.S. you must have a valid passport.

  13. to THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND- no

  14. definately depends how u travel - ryanair for example are very strict and you will need a current passport - check with your mode of travel - when you get there be prepared for the EURO RIP OFF! you'll need tons of money!

  15. were u from? if u live anywere in ireland u dont need a passport to travel round it north r south

  16. What a silly question.  Southern Ireland is the likes of Wexford, waterford andCork.

    There is a country called Northern Ireland but none called Southern Ireland.

  17. No you do not but you do need some form of photographic ID

  18. You do not South Ireland ( Ulster ) is supposed to be part of the UK, or it was the last time I looked

  19. Traveled from Inverness to Ireland passport had to be shown to easy jet  but only for identification, not for to travel in Ireland  no passport needed in N.Ireland and not needed in the South of Ireland

  20. I went to Southern Ireland on a ferry from Swansea and I took no ID and was not asked for ID on the out trip or on the way back, so No you don't but it would be a good idea to take some form of ID with you.

    It may be worth you getting an E111 from the post office, so that if you landed up in hospital then your covered.

    Enjoy your trip.

  21. From the US, yes.

  22. If you are in the UK then no - its classed as a domestic flight

    To anyone that says you do can you read?:

    "UK citizens do not require a passport or visa to enter Ireland"

    http://www.expedia.co.uk/daily/wg/P41637...

  23. no i flew from heathrow london to cork with just a driving licence, that was about 4 months ago it might of changed though

  24. I'm not sure but you do to get into Wigan

  25. From Northern Ireland you will not need any form of ID. On most roads there is not even a border check.

    From Mainland Britain you do not officially need a passport, but a lot of carriers will require an official form of ID, such as a passport or driving license. Ask whoever you are travelling with for their requirements.

    To come from the rest of the EU you will need a passport.

    To come from the rest of the world you will need a passport and if you are not an EU citizen, a visa.
