No: Ryanair.com - FAQS : What photo-Id do I need?

A valid driving licence with photo is acceptable photo ID for travel on domestic flights within the UK and domestic flights within the Republic of Ireland.

But I'd double check with whoever you're flying/sailing with.

to me - ROI is a DIFFERENT country to the UK and therefore passports would be required.

Until a few years ago you could go to the Republic with just your driving licence as ID (and if you're from NI you still can), but the law was changed a few years ago. Don't know why, "security" probably, but maybe an EU thing because the UK isn't a Schengen country.

No, you don't need your passport for going to ROI.

You can use a driving licence. Another thing, AT ALL COSTS keep any any bits of paper from ticket chits etc when you land so they can identity which flight you came from, many uk airports have a special aisle for flights from Ireland, and British Crown dependencies.
