    Which still says nothing about your nationality or citizenship.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Ireland before 2005 means an Irish Citizen. UK before 1983 means a UK citizen.

    We have been round this circular argument many times before. It is a fact that the UKBA and GNIB officers accept driving licences to enter either country.

    Birth in Ireland before 2005 denotes an entitlement to citizenship (it wasn't automatic) , the person who was born before 2005 in Ireland (or the parent(s) of that person) may not have opted for it.

    Well, if you try to go to the UK by Ryanair or Aer Lingus, you need your passport - so there is an element of compulsion.

    According to the site, Aer Lingus will let you travel between the UK and Ireland with a work ID or a bus pass, amongst other things. Ryanair just accept Passport or Passport/National ID Card.

    Somebody has compiled an interesting list on the CTA page on Wikipedia of the different documents that each carrier will accept:

    Ryanair do not fly from Dublin to NI, so you would only need ID (currently in the form of a passport for Irish Nationals) if flying to GB. EU passengers can use a National ID Card if they have one.

    When Ryanair flew from Dublin to Cork you needed a passport to fly with them. There are other ways to get from Dublin to Cork needing no id.
    Similarily if you fly with Ryanair from Dublin to the UK you need a passport. However you can go other via other ways to the uk, needing no id.
    The compulsion only arises from using a specific method to travel to the uk.
