argh!-passport!

[walsh]

Hi,

Going to Dublin from the uk next week on business, and I cant find my passport.. I've read on the internet that you don't actually need a passport for Ireland, but what is the likelihood of being allowed to fly with just a driving license?

Any advice appreciated.

Several years ago I was in my London office and was asked to drop everything and go and meet a client over from the USA at his office at The Hague for the day. Obviously, I did not have my passport with me but I did blag my way there and back via London City and Rotterdam Airports immigration peeps.

You need recognised photo id to fly anywhere. Your driving licence should be sufficient for Eire.
