Airlines that fly from the UK to Ireland

airlines that fly to Ireland from the UK

Ryan Air (often very cheap single or return)
Aer Lingus
British Airways
British Midland
British Midland bmibaby (to/from the Midlands only)

I've booked online with all these except bmibaby.

Boats to Ireland

It is also possible to take a boat + car/bus/train from, say, Britain or France. It's probably dirt cheap to take the boat plus bus/train from the UK if you buy one ticket for both from the bus/train company.
