Almost a quarter of a million people living in the UK applied for an Irish passport last year, the highest number since the UK formally left the European Union.
The data also shows that the number of people living in Britain who applied via the ‘Foreign Births Register’ reached 23,456 last year, the highest number since the Brexit referendum in 2016.
I calculated the chance of getting that exact number of applications and it’s 1 in 1234567
