I’m getting a 2nd one for same reason right now. What does restricted mean?
2 years only
Oh right, wouldn’t worry about that, they did that to me the first time.
I thought you meant you were restricted in the use of it.
It’s taken me 9 months to get mine sorted. Because I was adopted getting birth certs is a nightmare.

Maybe they have restricted it to 2 years as they realised you sold 2 of the ones you ‘lost’ to Iranian nationals and helped create one of the biggest aviation disasters of recent times.
id like to think the punishment for creating the biggest aviation disaster of recent times was something a bit more punitive than a restricted passport mate
True enough. Off to buy some food/groceries but cannot buy alcohol until 10.30am this morning. Silly rule.

So you’re an idiot that lost his passport three times? There’s a fair case to be made for not letting you back in.
That’s a disgusting post. Family reasons are behind their move to Australia. You should withdraw that remark and apologise. Despicable turn of events.
The family reasons being the family being deported
thanks mate
great moderating

Apparently there are currently 44 million passports unaccounted for in the world. Its a huge industry. Many students go to Asia, run out of money, sell the passport and then lodge a lost claim at their embassy. Its hardly surprising they’re watching you now mate.

Dublin City Council plan to introduce 30km/h limit despite opposition
THE NEW BYLAWS WILL EXTEND THE 30KM/H LIMIT TO ALMOST ALL MAJOR APPROACH ROADS TO THE CITY
Most submissions in public consultation were against new ‘default speed limit’
Olivia Kelly
Dublin City Council intends to press ahead with making 30km/h the “default speed limit” across the city and suburbs despite public opposition to the plan.
The results of a public consultation process, to be presented to city councillors next week, show that more than half of those who made submissions on the proposed traffic bylaws opposed the speed limit reduction.
Motorists complained the lower limit would cause “frustration and stress” and could result in “cyclists overtaking cars”. However, the council said road safety “must” be the “overriding principal” against motorists’ concerns over increased journey times or the difficulty of adhering to lower limits, and it is recommending that councillors approve the changes.
The council has been working to reduce speed limits to 30km/h in all residential areas. However, the new bylaws will extend the limit to almost all major approach roads to the city.
The low speed limit will apply to roads which previously allowed speeds of 50km/h and 80km/h and will include the Royal and Grand Canals and the Rathmines, Ranelagh, Harold’s Cross and Donnybrook Roads on the southside of the city and Phibsborough Road, Dorset Street, Manor Street and Gardiner Street on the northside.
Only a handful of major approach roads, such as the N3 and N1, will retain higher 50km/h and 60km/h limits, but as they near the city their speeds will drop to the 30km/h limit. A speed of 80km/h has only been permitted on a section of the Chapelizod bypass and the entry to the M1 motorway.
More than 2,000 submissions were received on the proposed bylaws in July and this month with 56 per cent opposed to the introduction of the 30km/h limit.
Those who supported the measure largely said it would provide a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, children and those with impaired mobility. Several respondents said a default 30km/h limit would be easier to enforce than variable limits.
Those opposing the change said it would result in longer journey times for motorists and additional delays in driving through city that would “cause a lot of frustration, stress and pressure for motorists”.
Some said that watching the speedometer would take concentration off the road and that lower speeds were bad for car engines.
‘Overriding principle’
The council said the concerns of motorists had to be balanced against the benefits of the change. “The overriding principle that must inform any decision to change a default speed limit should be road safety, in particular, the reduction of fatal and serious road collisions.”An examination of international experience and the existing 30km/h limited areas in the city “recorded only positive outcomes in terms of this road safety objective”. Residents already living in a designated 30km/h area, signalled continued support for retaining the limit the council said.
“The concerns regarding increased journey times and difficulties in keeping to the reduced speed limits have to be set against the clear desire of so many residents who want to improve their areas and wish to see reduced speeds in their local areas,” it said. “The clear intent of these speed limit bye-laws is to have the 30km/h as the default speed limit and that drivers should assume this is the speed limit across the city unless there are specific speed limit signs advising of higher speed limits.”
