Do you need a passport for Southern Ireland?
 

I have travelled there many times and have always carried my passport

The inlaws are off there on Tuesday and neither of them have a passport

They are going by Ferry with there Camper Van so no security issues on flying etc etc


Do they need a passport?

Taken from the Ireland Tourism Board website:

Visa, Passport and Embassies.


Whilst UK citizens do not require a passport or visa to enter Ireland, most carriers by air or sea now require some form of identification with photograph (usually either a passport or driving license with photo). Visitors are advised to check what form of ID is required with the individual, airline, ferry company, tour operator or travel agent before travelling.

Non UK nationals must have a valid passport or national identity card as appropriate.
Citizens living within the EU and most other Western countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa do not require visas.
All other countries should contact their local Irish Embassy / Consulate prior to travelling to the Republic of Ireland, and visitors to Northern Ireland should contact their local British Embassy / High Commission or Consular Office.

I couldn't find that !!

Thanks

Panic over ;)
