Uh-oh… The new Irish passport is sporting a BIG mistake

There is nothing worse than opening the long awaited envelope that holds your brand new form of identification and discovering that there’s been a typo.

Anyone who has the fortune of being an Aisling with an 'i' or any other name with a less than mainstream spelling will know the feeling of dread that comes with filling in important documents. It can be bad enough that you’re never able to get a cool keychain with your name on it, now someone has gone and ruined your passport too.

Why would anyone do such a thing?

One eagle-eyed Reddit user (Reichenbach_), the owner of a brand new Irish passport was left feeling less than enthused when they spotted this error.

This time it wasn’t a spelling mistake that they spotted, it was more of a geographical error that raised some eyebrows.

After having a look through their shiny new passport it was discovered that: "the convention centre is on the wrong side of the Samuel Beckett Bridge."

This is how the passport should actually look:

Should we be concerned? Does this mean that major changes are afoot for one of Ireland's most highly regarded locations? This year alone the Convention Centre will host five different international association conferences generating an estimated €7 million for the local economy.

But is the new passport trying to convince us this locale is actually more southern then we are used to? We shall just have to wait and see.
