Best Answer

Geographically, the British Isles are the two main islands of Britain and Ireland and all of their off-shore islands. Politically, they are divided into 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' and 'The Republic of Ireland'. The Republic of Ireland occupies about 5/6 of the island of Ireland and 'Northern Ireland' occupies the rest. The Republic of Ireland is the only country to share a land border with the UK. No passport is required to travel between Britain and Ireland in either direction.
