Ireland's foreign minister has today appealed to people in the UK to stop rushing for Irish passports after a surge in applications following the Brexit referendum threatened to overwhelm the country's hard-pressed consular offices.

No idea if that deep-link works - I googled "Ireland" in Google-News and followed that.

| Quote: | | | | Obviously, Sunglasses were invented by the esteemed Japanese scholar Sun Tzu as a means to prevent the enemy (the Italian forces in North Africa, under the stewardship of Rommel) from seeing their eyes and thereby working out where the next cannonball would be fired. | | | | | And he, of course, had borrowed the idea from the Zulu warriors who overran Rourke's Drift by the ingenious use of grass headbands that came down over their eyes.
The defending British troops were rendered completely impotent by this simple trategy, as they had been given strict instructions not to shoot until they could see the whites of the eyes of their attackers.

And from a German newspaper
"Benefiting from Brexit: Boris Johnson's Folly" Source (worth reading, especially the last paragraph! )
"The Future of Europe: So What if the British Are Leaving?" Source (also worth reading)

Why the rush? 
However, I guess you didn't count the Irish-American, Irish-Australians etc etc. Wait till they too find out...:-) | Quote: | | | | | I have been watching the Wimbledon 2016 and there's no sign of Brexit stress whatsoever other than good competitive spirit as usual.  | | | | | Yep.
