Yes

MAYBE: depends where in Ireland. Northern Ireland, yes: the same applies to Scotland and Wales, BUT if the intention is to travel to southern Ireland (also known as Eire) either directly or via Northern Ireland, than a visa may be needed, depending upon your own nationality / point of departure, as Eire is a country in its own right.

In practical terms, this technicality is frequently ignored by travellers (at their own risk, as it carries heavy penalties, particularly with the on-going concerns over terrorism etc), as the border between Northern and Southern Ireland is a land border, extremely rural, and riddles with a network of small country lanes, many of which cross the border. It would be virtually impossible, for example, to arrive in the UK, travel to Northern Ireland legitimately then on the Southern Ireland without a visa and then try to leave there for any destination other than Northern Ireland again ... and vice-versa ... it's been tried unsuccessfully way to many times!
