Republic of Ireland and UK Common Travel Area

I have numerous opinions on this one. My other half is American and to remain in the UK is sending the old passport off to update the visa, due back in 3-6 weeks. However having been asked to a charity event in the Republic of Ireland, I claimed that all you needed to travel was the driving licence to board the Ryanair flight....

UK Border don't see your passport coming back from the Republic but I recall the Garda checking passports on the way into Eire.

So my question is : Is he OK to get off a UK flight into the Republic with only a driving licence as ID?

Ta.

PS I have googled but I just want to hear from anyone who has or hasn't as it were.
