There's been a big surge in Irish passport applications from people in the UK since Brexit. 51,000 applied from Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the first 3 months of this year compared with 30,000 in the same period last year. And guess what? Stephen just joined those thousands of people. His Irish passport arrived a few days ago. It sparked a huge reaction on the Nolan Facebook page. One post called him a traitor and another said he was a lundy. But some said why not - Joan Davis said "Surely it can only be a positive to have dual nationality? I don't understand how it can be negative?" What do you think? Is there anything wrong in having a British and an Irish passport? Loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson and businessman Brendan Mulgrew debate.
