Rutankrd - Yeah all agreed - done the ferry many times, no probs. Done the border bit many times, no probs. Done the Dublin and the Cork thing too many times but it just ain't gonna happen in Shannon! Legal or not legal you WILL NOT get those hardheaded g*its to let you in without a passport....... Slightly off topic but I remember the days when one of the employees of Sir Dick's Shannon based outfit tried to get in (in uniform with a valid airport ID) but because he was of antipodean origin and he didn't have a valid "Irish" work permit (he was brussels based) he couldn't get past those geezers without completing a landing card. Go figure!
Go on I dare you - go and give 'em a go with ya driving licence hehe....

Entry Requirements--For citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand entering the Republic of Ireland for a stay of up to 3 months, no visa is necessary, but a valid passport is required.
Citizens of the United Kingdom, when traveling on flights originating in Britain, do not need to show passports to enter Ireland (though they do need some form of identification). Nationals of the United Kingdom and colonies who were not born in Great Britain or Northern Ireland must have a valid passport or national identity document.
For entry into Northern Ireland, the same conditions apply.

Do I need a visa to come to Ireland?
Citizens of certain countries require an entry visa for Ireland. If you are a citizen of a country that is on this list you do NOT require an entry visa for Ireland. Citizens of countries which are not on the list must apply for a visa to enter Ireland before they travel here.
All citizens of non-EU countries, whether they require a visa or not, are subject to immigration control at the point of entry to Ireland.

all in all, returning to the UK/Ireland is a lot easier than returning to Canada is for their citizens, who get the same third degree we foreigners do!
