Athlone, Ireland

[Roughquest]

Do I need a passport to travel to Athlone in Ireland ? My current passport has just expired - although I do have a photocard driver's licence for ID would this suffice?
Thanks

UK citizens do not require a passport or visa to enter Ireland, however most carriers by air or sea require some form of identification with photograph, usually a passport or driving licence with photo.

Visitors should check what form of ID is required with the individual airline, ferry company or travel agent before travelling.
