I drove down from Belfast ferry port to Dublin back in 2006 and the one thing I really remember noticing was much how the road quality improves after crossing the border. Two other things I remember about that trip, one was Scotland winning the Kirin Cup at that time, and the other was being on the internet in the hotel and discovering this brand new website called KZfaq for the first time, didn't have any idea back then about how it would take off.

All I had to provide was photo ID and I was able to use my driving licence for that, but then, of course, the UK was a member of the EU back then. It may be a completely different story from now on now that we rather foolishly listened to Boris Johnson and his lies and voted for Brexit in 2016.

Colin Douglas. The common travel area between Britain and Ireland predates the EU by many decades. In fact it’s been in force since what is now the Republic of Ireland ceased to be part of the United Kingdom. It supersedes any EU arrangements. That said, I think it’s always a good idea to have your passport for identification when flying between two different jurisdictions.
