They have said that they have had a massive increase in applications for both nationality & passports from people outside Ireland and are looking for volunteers to help cope with the deluge of applications.
Forgive me but what a lot of hysterical nonsense. Do you really travel that often, that urgently or at such short notice that a British passport is going to be such an inconvenience to you at Calais or Malaga or wherever? You have to show your passport when you arrive at an external Schengen border already. When a plane from Heathrow lands at Paris CDG almost everyone getting off it currently goes to the EU passport queue and the non-EU queue is almost empty. On 30 March the two queues will swap and the net difference will be close to zero.

I too am entitled to an Irish passport ... I won’t be applying for one.
