Hey my Name is Nikhil i am holding stamp4 visa in ireland and i am holding indian passport. I heard that you don't need to apply visa to uk if you are legal residant in ireland and travel to uk from Ireland. You need only id of ireland and your passport. Dose anyone know about the authenticity of this?

"Heard" it where, from what source?
Use the above to determine if you need a visa
Additional info--
Visas issued by Ireland are not acceptable for travel to the UK except for visas issued under the British Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS).

Eligible Irish visas
Indian and Chinese nationals can travel to the UK and Ireland using the Irish short stay visas:
visit (family/friend)
visit (tourist)
conference/event
business
Indian and Chinese nationals with any other type of Irish visa (for example a work or a study visa) will still need to apply for a separate UK visit visa to visit the UK from Ireland.
