No just in the UK and Ireland

No, within the UK yes but not overseas.

Ireland has reintroduced passport checks when flying in from UK - don't know why, but I keep getting mine checked!

No you can go to the republic without a passport.

Ha, and to recall that naive folk ( = sheep) were saying in 1974: 'Oh goody, if we join the EU we'll be able to go on holiday without needing passports - where do I sign up?'
