The Schengen area (of which France forms part) and Ireland are different countries for border purposes.
Therefore, you will need a passport (or national ID card from an EU/EFTA country) to exit France and enter Ireland – it will have to be presented to border control, and also stamped in the case of non-EU/EFTA passports.
Belfast to Liverpool is a domestic trip of course, so no fixed border control, but internal alien checks are not uncommon, so it’d be good to be able to prove you’re not in the UK illegally.
