Immigration Regulations
While British and Irish citizens enjoy the right to live in each other's countries under European Union law, the provisions that apply to them are generally more far-reaching than those that apply to other European Economic Area nationals. There now are identity checks at least for air travel, and people exempt from immigration control must prove so with a valid identity document. The lack of a full UK or Irish passport is likely to invite investigation although not strictly necessary.

“If the veil were withdrawn from the sanctuary of domestic life, and man could look upon the fear, the loathing, the detestations which his tyranny and reckless gratification of self has caused to take the place of confiding love, which placed a woman in his power, he would shudder at the hideous wrong of the present regulations of the domestic abode.”
