No. Wrong. For Immigration you only need photo id but to get on Ryanairs plane you need a passport.

Edit: Its wrong of Ryanair to require that but...

Q. Do I need a passport to fly to Great Britain?

A. There is no legal requirement for Irish citizens to have a passport for travel from Ireland to Britain. The Common Travel Area is a passport-free zone between the two islands. The Department of Foreign Affairs has been in touch with the airlines serving this market and all but one, Ryanair, will accept a driver’s license, as evidence of identity for travel to Britain. Ryanair have informed the Department that this is their policy for travel on all of their routes across Europe. Other carriers will accept documents such as driver's licence with photo; international student card; national ID card/Government issued photo ID cards; health insurance cards with photo; social security cards with photo; bus pass with photo; and work ID with photo.

Ryanair Leniant :rolleyes:

LOL has someone being living under a rock

Even if you are an Irish Minister on an internal irish flight (a country in which you don't need to carry ID) you need passport / Ireland doesn't do National Identity cards / Drivers license ain't valid for international travel.

Ryanair LOVE publicity, and also oversell seats so they don't care about loosiing your money as they have already factored it in.

http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/minister-for-tourism-refused-admission-to-ryanair-flight-247865.html

Minister for Tourism John O'Donoghue was reportedly refused permission to board a Ryanair flight at Cork Airport yesterday.

Reports this morning said the minister was due to fly to Dublin yesterday morning to record an interview with a television show, but had failed to bring any picture identification with him..

As a result, he was refused admission to the Ryanair flight under the airline's policy of not carrying any passengers who cannot produce a passport, driving licence or national identity card.

This morning's reports said officials at Cork Airport had offered to mediate between the minister and the airline, but Ryanair insisted that it would not be making any exceptions to its policy.

If going to the UK check what travel documents you need for the Belfast ferry. ( you need documents for the ROI ones )

You won't get a passport in time.

Book with a different airline or get the ferry.

That is the legal requirement when you show up at Immigration in Irl or UK.

However to get there you have to fly, drive or ferry.

Aer Lingus accept photo ID on UK <> Irl flights (thought I met a bollocks of a Garda who got odd over my photo id), Ryanair only accept passports on their flights. This saves them trying to figure out localised ID cards etc etc.

So if flying on Ryanair - present them with your passport to board and then just show a photo-id to the immigration folk (if they're around).

Of course you can get on a ryanair flight without a passport, just slip the girl a fifty when checking in.

I've used the ferry a number of times going from rosslare to pembroke with the car and have been asked for nothing other than the ticket.

Go to the passport office tomorrow and bring proof of your travel with you. Tell them your going to a funeral. They should be able to issue you with an 'emergency' passport but it'll probably take a few hours. Make sure you also bring birth cert, picture signed by Guard, proof of address etc........

My Mum had to do this a few years ago when she had to go to a funeral in the UK and had no passport.

Good luck OP

Fred Cohen

Have you tried the Israeli Embassy?

Degag

You can get an emergency passport if you go to the passport office (i had to a few years back). Just be prepared to wait for a long time.

Oh, and it will cost extra. Around €50 if i remember correctly.
