Tony Blair’s four children have Irish citizenship – with at least one, Kathryn, using her Eire passport to travel.

The revelation came from Cherie Blair on a TV chat show, when she said Kathryn, Euan, Nicky and Leo had Irish passports through their grandmother, Tony’s mother Hazel.

‘She came from a Protestant family, but from Ireland, and it’s because of her that my four children all have Irish passports,’ Mrs Blair told Irish TV’s The Late Late Show.
