Record number of Irish passports issued as Britons seek to keep EU citizenship

Almost a million Irish passports were issued in 2019, Dublin has revealed.

The record total was hit because of a surge in applicants from the UK – with tens of thousands of people living here apparently seeking a way to maintain their European citizenship after Brexit.

Interest from the England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland peaked in March and October – the months when the UK was initially due to leave the EU.

Fears of losing a host of rights – including access to the European health insurance card and the Erasmus university scheme – are thought to have inspired many to seek the extra documentation.

Anyone living in the UK who has either Irish parents or grandparents is entitled to a passport for the country.

Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign affairs minister said it had been “another bumper year for the passport service”.
