Hi,
We took ds, then aged 12 weeks, on a Birmingham to Isle of Man flight and needed a passport for him, for identification purposes.
I would assume you will need some form of id for your dd but no doubt someone will be along with a definitive answer soon.

I think you'll probably need a passport as you're going from England to Ireland. If in doubt, just give Ryanair a call.

I wouldn't call them - I would just get her a passport.

As it's ryanair, they will do everything in their power to make things difficult for you, so it's best not to give them the opportunity.

Yes.
