Passports

Well the Romans started off the whole thing by starting to build the roads, and then the Irish made it into an art form by finishing off the job nearly 2000 years later, and then word spread back to Ireland about the welfare system

and then the rest of the world discovered what a lazy bunch there were over there and now they have moved in en masse to keep the oul wheels turnin. All power to them

Thats true. Bloody Romans.What did they ever do for us? (Life of Brian

)
They didnt need passports did they? Nor the Vikings,Danes, Angles,Saxons (who else

) right, Normans---
We didn't bother with them either when we invaded and took over a third of the globe--
Bloody Brits, we get everywhere.And still do

Hi loretta,
With much respect, you have now identified yourself as a Registered Member when all your previous posts on this subject implied that you were a Guest, so would you not agree that on this score your postings are somewhat slightly confusing. As for predujice of any kind...whilst I am quite sure there is an elimate of truth in what you say....I for one cannot agree that any one community/nationality should be singled out.....I am sorry and I repeat myself this is prejudice.
Nightrider

ps As for your personal attempt at being rude to me..my response to that is:-Unfortunately, and much to my shame, sadness and I might add love of animals......for various reasons are unable to ride a horse no matter what height it may or may not be

ellie,
Last year we re-newed our passports here in Portugal....out of interest how much do they charge for this service in the UK now and is it still a maximum period of 10yrs of use from it's commencement date?

ROD,
Do you need a passport if you fly to Sth Ireland?

Regards
Nightrider

I dont think it was confusing I said what I did but just didnt sign in, it didnt alter what was said only my name wasnt at the bottom of the page, sorry if I confused you.
I didnt single out any one nationality/ Community.

As for my so called personal attempt of being rude to you, I wasnt being rude I said you had got on your high horse, that is not rude its just a saying. Lighten up

Nightrider, you do need a passport to get into southern Eire.

According to Rod's post yesterday you need photographic evidence and that could be a driving licence.
Passports are now £51..and yes they're still vaild for 10years.
When I was last in hospital,3 years ago, all the nurses were from other countries..Ireland, Asia, Caribbean, and a lot from South Africa.
Again Im just trying to balance Loretta's argument.
Even a 'TORY' politician stated that without immigrants and their high qualifications, engineering etc, some of our industries wouldn't function..as we seriously lack these people here in UK.
You also mentioned Brits moving on because of this? To where? If you mean abroad, as to Algarve, Spain, Greece etc..Id put a bet the one priority for this is the glorious climate these countries have. That if they suddenly had a dratsic change in climate/temps..then their/our plans would radically change?
Strange how this topic has developed from passports to immigration/emigration..
though perhaps on the other hand , not so strange

?

P.S. Just to add, my sons had Polish workers building an extension to his house. Efficient, reliable ,good workmanship and very reasonable price too.

The British do not need a passport to go to the Republic of Ireland. Photographic evidence is needed only for flight check-in, but if you went for example by boat you would not require any ID
