    Hi, so I am not sure about whether or not a birth certificate would be enough to get the ferry to England, I have applied for a passport (which was difficult as I have no other form of ID or proper proof of address), I have my birth certificate and I have applied for an age card too but would just a birth certificate suffice. I'm quite short on time and I don't have time to wait for the passport or the age card. I have an ML10 from the guards if that would do either. Thanks for any help.

    Photo ID would be required if you were checked.

    Actually you are in luck...
    Ireland/Britain Routes

    Irish Ferries recommend all passengers bring a passport with them. Irish and British citizens do not strictly require a passport to travel between the two countries - some form of identification is however required. Please note that all nationalities except Irish or British require passports. Non-EU nationals should check with the British or Irish embassy before travelling as they may also need a visa. Passengers who turn up at our ports without valid documentation may not be allowed to enter either Ireland or Britain.

    Useful means of identification when travelling on these routes are:

    Passport
    Driving Licence
    European identity Card
    Bank cards
    Photo ID (school or college)
    Utility Bills
    Birth Certificate
