    Lads can anybody tell me if you need a passport for the Ferry to England and back. I am going in a few weeks from Hollyhead over to a match in Manchester. My passport is out of date, my only I.D. would be an Irish age card or my birth cert. Just don't want to get refused entry so need to make sure.

    No passport is needed but some photo ID is advisable.

    If thats all you have then bring that with you. You won't be asked for it when bording you might be asked at the other side but what you have should cover it. Its nowhere like flying, altogether more laid back.

    Actually if I was in your shoes I would bring the out of date passport as the best form of ID.

    A birth cert. is not worth the paper it's written on as a form of ID. Pretty much anything with your photos on it will be fine in the unlikely event that anyone asks for it. The more official it looks the better so if the age card was issued by the Gardai, I'd bring that in preference to a college or student card.
