Is this doable? Has anyone had any recent experience?

 

I'm supposed to be going on Friday morning but have misplaced my passport.

 

Ireland travel advice

This site says:

Entry requirements

 

Ireland, along with the UK, is a member of the Common Travel Area. This means that British Citizens do not require a passport to visit Ireland. However, Irish immigration officers will check the IDs of all passengers arriving by air from the UK and most airlines will not carry passengers to and from Ireland unless they have seen satisfactory photographic ID before boarding. Travellers to Ireland are therefore advised to take their British passports with them.

 

Other than passports, some carriers may accept other types of photographic ID. For their acceptability, please consult your carrier before travelling.

 

But I'm not sure if Ryanair will accept this?

From their FAQs:

 

In order to ensure compliance, passengers should carry a valid passport (and visa if applicable) or government issued national identification card on all journeys. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of breach of these requirements shall be paid by or charged to you.

 

Ryanair does NOT accept driver licences, electoral/residence cards, family books, seaman books, military ID cards etc. Expired or damaged forms of photo-id will not be accepted on any flight.

 

Details of all passengers' travel documents (including those of children and infants) must be entered during the online check-in process. All passengers must present their valid travel document along with their online boarding pass at airport security and at the boarding gate for all flights.
