Hundreds of people in majority unionist parts of Northern Ireland are applying for Irish passports in the years since Brexit, new figures reveal.
Statistics from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs obtained by Belfast Live show the number of Irish passports issued to people in Northern Ireland in 2020 and 2021 by their postcode area.
It shows that many of the passports have been issued to applicants in communities considered mainly unionist based on past electoral voting patterns.
