Irish Passports

Apr 3rd 2021

Irish citizenship rules say that if you have, or had, a grandparent from Ireland, you are entitled to an Irish passport.

Due to Brexit the interest and demand for the Irish, meaning EU, passport surged, and more than 422,000 passports were issued from 2016 to 2020.

My non-scientific guess is that as Brexit issues keep piling up, the demand will continue to be high.

But for the sake of UK and EU, I hope I am wrong. Besides, at some point the UK population will run out of Irish grandparents.
