The UK and the Republic of Ireland have a bilateral 'freedom of movement' agreement which dates back to the return of independence for the South.

That agreement is totally separate to 'freedom of movement' within the EU, and will remain unchanged after Brexit.
He need not worry if he has been here for years.
There are lots of people living here without passports. . Tell him to just carry as before

i will tell him that
thanks
he doesnt need to do anything

he has sufficient right s to stay under current legislation

Nothing as you know from Brexit is fixed but if the current 'plan' is put into effect ( do you not believe the word of a prime minister?).

if the great roll back of european interference ( erm such as guaranteeing right of abode to EU nationals) takes place - then the legislation put into effect in 1922 will still be there

And incredibly the Irish in 1922 got a good deal - such as free movement - freedom to take wor in England - ( er freedom to pay UK taxes still hur hur hur) - free to enlist - 186 000 Irish fought for King George - and freedom of residence

Now..... ask one question and get three answers....

Your fren' has a right to a Brit passport IF he wants. At his age he will be much less " an' Eamonn de Valera DIED for Orisih Freedom (even do he was Spanish)" and much more 'where is my English ( a nation of morderers if ever dere was one) pension for which I have paid?' - this is because his parents ( it is virtually unavoidable) were born within the United Kingdom as was before 1922. And his grandparents too

third answer: as for return of independence to the South in 1922
So the Oirish were free before 1801 were they ? or do we have to go back to 1066 ?
The South of course was never a country so couldnt exactly be free whenever. This is notwithstanding the glorious treaty of freedom and return of independence to the South ( aka the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922) was concluded with a body that didnt exist ( House of Commons in Dublin aka First Dail about whose legality they are STILL quarelling) of a country that didnt exist ( Southern Ireland).

But this is Oirish History for you ( almost as many alternative facts as a Trump interview)
