Ireland reacts to 'tone deaf' Passport Express name change as service is too slow

Social media has had a hilarious take on the news that the Passport Express will be changing its name on the grounds that the title is misleading.

Fine Gael TD Emer Higgins uploaded a video to Twitter early this morning to announce that the An Post service would now be referred to as Post Passport.

“I am really pleased to say that following months long campaigning and media attention that An Post contacted me earlier to say they are going to change the name of Passport Express. There’s going to be a new name to reflect that it is not in fact an express service,” Emer told her followers in a video on Twitter.
