Can I travel to European countries with the Irish passport and without destination Visa?

Accepted answer

You should read up on your rights as an EU citizen. They are extensive.

  • As an Irish citizen, you can not just travel but also work in the EU without a visa. You can bring your dependents if they're not Irish as well, who get simplified visa procedures.
  • If you are resident in other EU countries, you can (and should) vote in the European and some local elections.
  • You can get consular support from other EU embassies abroad if there is no Irish one.
