no it doesn't, it would mean that you had a college ID, which is not acceptable ID, a some paperwork with a person's details, not necessarily your own.

If it was any other country you were visiting you would have to have a passport and it wouldn't be an issue, and as of 2009 you will need a passport to travel between Ireland and Britain so you may as well just go and get one.
