British citizens are able to hold more than one passport

Britons are rushing to get Irish passports in unprecedented numbers before Brexit, Ireland’s ambassador to the UK [ Dan Mulhall] said today.

Dan Mulhall said the Dublin government was on course to issue twice the usual 50,000 passports to people in the UK this year and a record 500,000 around Europe.

“That’s an extraordinary number of passports, well up on our previous numbers, which means that people around the world - many of them may be British people living in Europe, living elsewhere, with Irish connections - are looking for Irish passports in order to safeguard their position for the future,” he told [the BBC Radio 4 ]Today.

His comments came as Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar stepped up pressure on Britain to clarify its Brexit plans.

In his first speech in Northern Ireland, the Taoiseach demanded quicker progress on agreeing how the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic should look after Brexit. ....

Speaking ahead of Mr Varadkar’s speech, Mr Mulhall said a hard border between northern and southern Ireland was “not feasible” .
