Do I need a passport to fly to Ireland?

[Daz]

One for the frequent flyers!

I'm due to fly over to Cork in a couple of weeks - Do I need my passport or will my drivers license do?

[Feek]

They're Eurozone aren't they? I'm pretty sure you do, but to be doubly sure I'd check with the airline. Which airline is it?

[Stan_Lite]

If it's Ryanair, I'm pretty sure they insist on it.

[Daz]

It is Ryanair yeah. Their site doesn't make it clear though:

Splendid :) Dee'll tell you, I'm useless at finding things!

I'll keep looking for my passport anyway, but I know I can make plans regardless. Thanks guys :)

Just to make sure that was interpreted correctly - flying from England to Ireland you almost certainly do need a passport. It's only domestic flights in either country where you don't (though you might be OK crossborder between Ireland and NI too). Remember that only NI is a part of the UK, so the Republic doesn't count as domestic within the UK.

I was going to say... if you have one you should take it.

But you don't. And you are a noob :p

Good luck finding it!

I found it, panic over!

I still look like a gimp in it though. Mind you, doesn't everyone?

[Belmit]

I'm not in your passport photo!

[BBx]

Nope.

Mine is nice :D
