Immigration Regulations
While British and Irish citizens enjoy the right to live in each other's countries under European Union law, the provisions that apply to them are generally more far-reaching than those that apply to other European Economic Area nationals. There now are identity checks at least for air travel, and people exempt from immigration control must prove so with a valid identity document. The lack of a full UK or Irish passport is likely to invite investigation although not strictly necessary.
