The redesign of the Irish passport is an opportunity to pay tribute to the beautiful Irish plants and animals that are struggling due to biodiversity loss.
The current passport design is now 10 years old and the Tánaiste Micheál Martin will today tell Cabinet that it needs new security features and an updated take on Irish culture and values.While the public will be asked for their thoughts on the images that should be used inside the booklet, the design team is believed to be focused on themes related to Ireland’s natural environment.
“Who is the passport for?” he asked. “It’s not for the person you hand it over to for a few seconds when you’re going through passport control, it is for you.“When you open a page of your passport book does this say to you, this is a beautiful piece of graphic design or does it say to you, this is an accomplished piece of security?”He said it is a good idea to highlight the country’s plants and animals, “because they’re in crisis at the moment, with everything that is going on with the planet”.
“The economy was taking off again and we wanted to show all our impressive heritage and our big buildings,” he said.
