Northern Riders and Foreign Parts

[Gerard C]

Never been asked for one. Ireland is great. If you fancy a trip let me know. Iwould be up for it.

Love to do something like that but no passport so limited to staying in the UK.
Can you go to Eire without a passport?

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Ireland, along with the UK, is a member of the Common Travel Area. This means that British Citizens do not require a passport to visit Ireland. However, Irish immigration officers will check the IDs of all passengers arriving by air from the UK and most airlines will not carry passengers to and from Ireland unless they have seen satisfactory photographic ID before boarding. Travellers to Ireland are therefore advised to take their British passports with them.

Other than passports, some carriers may accept other types of photographic ID. For their acceptability, please consult your carrier before travelling. Take care to read any advice they may give when booking tickets on the Internet.
