Brexit fears cause increase in number of Britons applying for Irish passports

There has been a sharp rise in the number of British people applying for Irish passports because of fears of a Brexit, writes Daniel McConnell.

Between 2014 and 2015, the number of adults born in England, Scotland or Wales applying for their first Irish passport on the basis of having an Irish-born grandparent rose more than 33%, from 379 to 507.
