to citizens of the UK and RoI and for this reason citizens
of the UK and RoI can be asked to produce proof of
nationality which normally means a passport or a driving
licence.


No they aren't

quote

There are no passport controls in operation for Irish and
UK citizens travelling between the 2 countries. . However,
all air and sea carriers require some form of identification

You may be asked for photo ID when entering a dockyard irrespective of
whether you are travelling, it's for security.

Dockyards ? Dockyards are where they build ships. Docks require
security to deter smuggling and illegal entry into the country
formerly by Lascars and similar. Usually shrouded in fog as they
slipped down the gangway. I doubt you'd be accosted if innocently
loitering around the entrance of a Ferry terminal.

According to the instructions, proof of ID is needed. You obviously
don't read your dockyard/ ferry terminal entrance gates.

Likewise formal ID is needed to get airside, Travelling isn't a factor
in the requirement.

Why did you snip the most salient paragraphs of the passage
I quoted ?

Nebulous requests are not a legally binding demand. The passage has no
legal value.


Irrelevant anyway as the ID is needed for entrance to the dockyard or
airfield.


* Immigration authorities may also require you to have valid
official photo-identification which shows your nationality.*
As you are being asked to prove that you are an
Irish or UK citizen who is entitled to avail of the Common
Travel Area arrangements, it is advisable to travel with your
passport.

Is May and adviseable now a legal requirement then?
