    Hi all

    I'm travelling to England in mid July for a few days by car. With brexit talks about to start soon. And talking about hard boarders or is the uk and Ireland common travel area still ok for now. Will I need a passport to travelling or will my drivers licence still work.
    Cheers and thanks
    Dave

    You'll be grand. Even with Brexit talks, there is to be a 2 year exit period. If you're flying with Ryanair you need a passport as they don't accept driving license, but with every other form of transport you'll be grand. Enjoy your trip!

    Sorry, just saw you said by car, you'll be fine, it's no different to driving up to Belfast.

    if you are Irish you need no passport to enter or stay or live or work (or VOTE) in the UK . Under the aliens act or whatever its called, Irish are exempted from being considered as foreigners.

    The ferry companies ask you to have some form of ID with you, but if youre driving then by law you have to carry a licence so that'd do.
