About 40% of the 100 passports being stolen in Ireland every week end up on the black market, a senior garda source has told the Sunday Tribune.
More than 5,000 passports were reported stolen in 2008, with this year's tally standing at 2,227.
According to the garda source, an estimated 2,000 of last year's stolen passports have found their way onto a flourishing international passport black market.
The real figure is likely to be higher, he said.
