Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether, under the Common Travel Area arrangements, British citizens are required to present passports when entering the Republic of Ireland, including when arriving at Irish airports.

The operation of the Common Travel Area arrangements for British Citizens travelling to Ireland from the UK, is a matter for the Irish Government.

When travelling from Ireland to the UK, an Irish citizen is not required to present their passport, but may be asked to show a document that confirms their identity and nationality.
