* 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?

Immigration authorities may exercise their *discretion* as to
whether they require you to offer proof of your nationality, or
not, on any particular occasion. The criteria they may use are
deliberately inscrutable and not amenable to discussion as
a matter of policy.

surely, as it's an open border there wont be any immigration official there
in the first place (just like there aren't if you drive over a border)

we have austerity

why spend money on something that we don't need
