Ofaolain, the rules regarding the Common Travel Area only apply to British & Irish citizens, everyone else must provide their passports. This guy is a UK resident which is a completely different kettle of fish & may not even be a British passport holder.

If someone is holding a visa to live & work in the UK, the UK visa only covers them to live & work in the UK, they are not treated as if they are British citizens when it comes to travelling in Europe. In order to visit other European countries s/he must get a visa if required.

If you require a visa to visit the Republic of Ireland, you can contact the Irish Embassy in London for details on how to apply. This link will also have information who does and does not require a visa to visit the Republic.

Edit: if you have a British passport or a passport from another EU member state then you don't need a visa to visit the Republic of Ireland.

If you have a UK passport you can Travel to Ireland without a visa. If you live in Northern Ireland you can drive to the Republic of Ireland with only a driving licence as the borders are now unmanned

You don't really pay attention, do you?

First of all, EU nationals don't need a visa to go to other EU countries.

Second of all, there is no such place as Southern Ireland. The name of the state is the Republic of Ireland. In parts of the Republic, referring to it as Southern Ireland can cost you your kneecaps.

What passport do you have ?

No sensible answer without that.

That said if you're in the UK legally then most likely you don't need one.
