Hello,
I have an Irish passport but reside in N Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom.
Can I apply for and use an Irish Inter Rail card for travel in the rest of the UK?
Regards.....Roland. :P

hej Roland ... :)
you have to buy an UK InterRail Pass... as Northern-Ireland belongs if you have a look on the political borders... so you also should have a British passport... isn't it ??
and when the train staff checks your InterRail pass during your travels and see an Rep. of Ireland InterRail Pass together with an UK Passport they know that something is wrong ... and your InterRail ticket won't be valid anymore... ||
I hope this answer will help you ... if there are special IDcards or passports for Northern-Ireland, let me know... I have only a German passport... and don't know all the details... ;)
Peter :)

Hi,

Im also from Northern Ireland and can use an Irish passport or Brittish. Would it be cheaper to get the Irish IR pass and buy it in euros as I think it would work out cheaper than buying it in sterling.
