The passport nonsense

Mary Kenny, who is a columnist in right-wing Catholic newspapers, tweets that one of her mother's proudest possessions was her 'little green passport. She valued the symbol of Ireland's independence'.

The current Irish passport is smaller than the older more bulky green Irish passport. The Irish passport carries the harp, the symbol of Ireland.

Has Ms Kenny not spotted the harp on the Irish passport.

The columnist  is forever at the margins criticising so many aspects of living in the European Union. She comes across as Nigel Farage lite.
