Ireland travel advice
I flew there probably 40 or 50 times using my old paper driving license, ID checks were only done maybe 1 in 10 trips for many years. They clamped down a lot sometime in the late 1990's. The Irish check every time if you are flying though the British rarely do. These days we use our passports because it's the easiest way.
If you are unfortunate enough to fly with Ryanair then their terms of carriage are that you ALWAYS need your passport or national identify card. Since the UK doesn't have a national ID card, that won't be an option if you are British.
Other carriers allow non passport ID like a photo driving license (check with the operator). You also have to be careful using non passport ID if you were not born in the UK or Ireland - you may have difficulty at immigration as it's not immediately obvious to them that you are a British or Irish national entitled to use the common travel area.
Coming from Ireland back to the UK is pretty relaxed, when flying you don't normally need to produce any ID at the UK border as long as you retain your boarding pass and use the dedicated lane for the common travel area. On the ferry they just wave you through. The army checkpoints for Northern Ireland were dismantled years ago and the border isn't even marked these days.Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment

If you are doing the same day service for passport renewal, book well ahead. I needed to do this back end last year, and it was a case of one appt slot the next week or nothing for three weeks (London).
Same day process was straight forward, and I am always happy for clients to claim cost of passports.Comment
