Irish I’d card (5 Viewers)

[Gingernuts]

Came back from Spain after 2 months and showed my Irish id card to British border force guards in Calais. Was asked if I had my British passport with me, I didn’t, they then asked me if I had permanent right to remain in the uk!!!!! It’s not on the euro id card! I said I had my Irish passport with me and they asked me to produce it , scanned it and said everything is ok thank you!
Is this normal? Should I take my British passport to show when coming back in?
What do other “Irish” I’d card/passport do?

As all Irish citizens have free travel into the UK, can't see the problem.

Only have the passport. I use it.

Never applied for the id card, just use my passport. I understand people who have one mainly use it for ID.

I don't believe the UK border force accept ID cards anymore post Brexit. So passports only.
