Object of desire?

Post Offices in Northern Ireland ran out of Irish passport applications over the weekend.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan said an "unnecessary surge" is threatening to have a significant impact on the passport service and could hit those who urgently need one.
"The increased interest clearly points to a sense of concern among some UK passport holders that the rights they enjoy as EU citizens are about to abruptly end," he said.
"I want to state clearly that this is not the case."
Mr Flanagan's intervention follows a spike in applications in recent days as well as inquiries about moving to Ireland after last week's shock EU referendum result.

One in four people in Britain has Irish heritage.
