Another urban myth

AnTaoiseach

Does anyone know if its true that there are about 30 million Irish passports worldwide?
It seems a bit unlikely.

There are around 30 million 2nd generation irish abroad, in other words they would be eligible for irish nationality.

I heard this in relation to the fact that only 25% of Americans hold passports.
There would easily be 30 million 2nd generation Irish but do they all hold Irish passports?
