you usually need one for id purposes on any travel nowadys..

[ummmm]

Have you posted this is the wrong category?

[TWR]

No Dotty, neither do you need one for Belfast.

[ummmm]

The answer is no.

[murraymints]

even an expired passport can be used for id purposes..would rather be safe than sorry and take it just in case !

[dotty.]

well that's how genunely excited I am! My AB page is set on this topic when i select AB from favourites, anyway, never mind that, see up there, Garth is coming to Belfast as well as Dublin!!!

who do I know in Belfast that would put up with my daughter and I between shows?

All depends on the Ferry Company - strictly speaking a passport is not needed for Irish /British citizens (Common Travel Area) but most recommend you bring one. Some form of photo ID or other form of ID is usually required. Best to check on the Ferry Co. website.

well I have a couple of months to sort a new one out, imagine getting tickets, booking the time off, sorting out the travel, then getting to the ferry port and being told i can't travel, i'd go balistic, better get one at the earliest opportunity, it's £80 something quid now, they should do a cheaper one for travelling within Europe/UK.

I travel back and forth all the time and have never been asked for a passport!

[friedgreentomato]

They will only want ID so if you have a picture driving licence use that!!

[dotty.]

oooooooo, do you live in Belfast ? lol

[friedgreentomato]

Just on the outskirts - do you want me to reccomend a hotel?

[ummmm]

You can put them up, Helen, you have loads of room :-)

[dotty.]

My daughter says we should take the car and then we can motor down to Dublin to catch the shows there too rather than use a bus or train.

the train between dublin and belfast is brill now but so is the motorway hour and half dublin to belfast.
