It depends on the airline but generally no you don't. They accept photograph ID, which could be a driving licence or national ID card. Have a look at the airline's website. You will find their ID policy there but I am pretty certain you don't necessarily need a passport. |

Into Northern Ireland, no. If you are coming to mainland Britain by ferry you do not need a passport, though if you are flying you will need some form of id, but not necessarily a passport.
Have traveled from Britain to Ireland 5 times by ferry and have never had to produce id of any description. |

No, not as far as I'm aware
There is a proposal that you will need to in the near future, although how far that has gone, or whether its implemented I don't know.
Assuming nothing has changed there is no need for anyone from the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Eire to show passports, its been in place since IIRC the mid 1920's
However if you are flying most airlines demand photo ID of a specific type, so a passport or modern EU photo type driving licence is required to fly. its a demand of the airlines and airline/airport security not UK immigration. |

If you're going by ferry you should be able to go straight over, but with airlines you'd need a drivers licence or passport just to prove who you are. :) |

No, I have family over in London and I never bring my passport. The UK and Ireland have free flow unless your travel with ryanair in which case you do need a passport. Make sure you bring sufficient ID if your not bringing your passport like a driving licence. And you must check in in the airport if you do not have a passport and flying anywhere in Britain! If you check in online and don't have a passport you will not be allowed to get on the plane! |

If you are going by ferry, no. Laws have recently changed, possibly over terrorist risks etc, but by plane, you now need a passport. |

No as there is an agreement between Ireland and UK that allows freedom of movement without any immigration checks. However, you will need a form of identification when tarvelling to Dublin. |

If flying yes. By ferry, usually no. If you have one bring it just in case. If not a photo driving licence wil do. |

Strictly speaking no, Irish & British citizens only need to produce valid ID on request but airlines insist on either a passport or driver's licence with photo.
Travelling by ferry, you should carry some form of identification, those who drive will have to carry their driver's licence any way.
If you are a foreign nation who requires a visa to live & work in either the UK or the Republic of Ireland you will need to take your passport with you as it will have the visa which proves you are allowed to live and work in the country you're returning to. |
