    drivers licence should be fine if you are checking in at the airport. For online check-in, you will need a valid passport

    This is not necessarily true, not all photo id is valid for flight.

    The best place always to check is the airlines Terms and Conditions.

    Here are Ryanair's

    Domestic flights in the UK and domestic flights in Ireland. Doesn't cover Ireland-UK.

    BuffyBot is correct that DL is fine as long as you check in at the airport.
    For British and Irish citizens who are travelling on flights to/from the United Kingdom to/from the Republic of Ireland (Common Travel Area), a valid driving licence with photo is acceptable photo ID. Passengers who are citizens of other countries travelling on these routes must present a valid passport (with visa if applicable) or a National Identity Card issued by the government of a European Economic Area (EEA) country.
    Each passenger who has checked in online must present either their valid passport or National Identity Card, issued by the government of an EU/ European Economic Area (EEA) country which matches the document details printed on their online boarding pass, at both airport security and the departure gate. (See paragraph headed "Documentation" for details of accepted EEA National Identity Cards).
