Do I need a passport to go from England to Southern Ireland
No, but you might need one to get back in!

yes, you do need it even though it doesn't get looked at at all (wandered straight through at Dublin and Heathrow last week)

Certain airlines from Stansted will not accept photo ID in lieu of a passport. No passport, no fly. Why not check with whoever you are travelling with

No - passport not required but do need photographic ID.
Easyjet and other airlines accept driving license if it has a photograph.
Will not need passport due to agreement between UK and ROI for travel between two countries.

Try getting back into the UK by air without your passport. I don't think so. In theory there is free travel between all EU member states (of which Eire is one of course). In practice you're asking for grief, since the immigration services don't give a monkeys what plane you've got off.

Have flown many many times from Dublin to UK and have never been asked for any ID - ever
(Did get a bit of grief once flying from Belfast to Heathrow - guy on xray machine asks me if I am carrying any bombs - being from Belfast i can't suppress the sarcastic reply 'yep - I've two in my hand luggage and another five or six in the hold!! What a completely ******* stupid question - If I had do you think I would 'fess up?'
Bastid arrested me and kept me for 5 hours

Not quite free travel between all EU members - the UK did not sign up to the Schengen Agreement which permits this.
