You'll need a passport I believe. If you send off for it now you might just get it in time, usually it takes 6 weeks, depending on how busy the office is.

Who are ya flying with? By law you only need a drivers licence but I think Ryanair demand a passport but a drivers licence might be enough. Ring whoever you're flying with first or go to their website.

Otherwise you still have time to get a passport - the passport office here is great and I'm sure it's the same there, you will NEVER be able to blame them for not being able to go anywhere cos they'll sort you out.

I needed a renewal of my passport. I got the form 2 weeks ago, sent payment and sent off the form. And i received my brand spankin' new passport about 5 days ago! Talk about speedy service!

If you apply now i think you'll be ok.

Have you sorted it yet mate?

Best check mine actually!! :eek:

No I'm not BUT legally to travel between Ireland and the UK a government ID thing is all that's required, like a drivers licence or passport or one of those government ID things but some airlines demand a passport only and won't let you fly otherwise. They've been challenged in the courts over this but I'm not sure what the outcome was. Ryanair use any excuse not to let you fly though.
