How does the British-Irish visa schemeVisa Scheme work?

I am an Indian citizen and have applied for the Standard Visitor Visavisa to the UK, and wish to travel to Ireland by using the BIVS scheme.

Do I need to fill up a separate application for BIVS endorsement or is it handed out automatically?
Also, If I enter the UK, and then travel to Ireland, can I re-enter the UK again?
