I’m not sure what Ireland being in the EU has to do with it. You have to pay for a passport, and doctors usually charge to countersign the form and photos.

You can get them signed by anyone who holds a license. When I renewed my passport my local shop keeper signed as he holds a license to sell alcohol.

Before that it was the pub landlord. Never been questioned and there are 5 of us.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK , so no passport needed ! But Southern Ireland (The Irish Republic) is an independent country !. However you must have a verifiable way to prove your Identity . A passport is the easiest way to do this ! If we in the UK had official ID cards as most of the rest of the World does, they would be all you need to go to The Irish Republic ! ( or anywhere in the EU)

Some airlines won't let you travel without a valid passport, Ryanair for instance.

To renew a passport you don't need to get photographs countersigned now. You can upload your pictures and renew on-line.

You still have to pay for a passport, wherever and whoever you are! Nothing comes free.
