"Passport validity
All British passport holders require a valid passport. There is no
minimum passport validity requirement but you should ensure that your
passport is valid for the proposed period of your stay."
It's EU law that all another EU citizen needs to enter another EU
country is a valid ID or passport- they only need to be current for the
trip. Shengen makes the 'need' part moot in most cases. The only place I
can find a reference to this quickly is an Irish Government website.
