I mean, I think it was, was it highlighted in the Frederick Forsyth novel, I think, how you did it and, you know, it sort of set off this train.

But this is a very unusual case of an Algerian man who seems to have, you claimed he was the son of an Irish woman who was murdered in the U.K.,

And Maeve even just sort of picked up her name off watching a TV show.

Is that what we suspect?

But I suppose it shows as well, this case, the difficulty and how much harder it is to get away with it these days.

So sheer case that appeared in this program was The Real Manhunter, which I think presumably is a play on the Netflix show, which is really

Yeah.

So he's convicted of life at this point.

The programme goes back on, presumably...

Mr. Abdul Hamid sees this and he hears, maybe he hears her age or date of birth and he decides, well, she's dead.

So I'm going to claim to be her natural born son.

And therefore I automatically, you know, get an Irish passport effectively.

I mean, obviously, like, you know, she's not there to contradict it is presumably the first bit of it.

Does he not have to provide a birth cert?

So it may be that in some case that, you know, he knows the name of the person he applies for.

For example, it could be something like this is an abandoned child and therefore there'd be no mother on the birth cert.

We don't know those sort of details.

But either way, it does seem amazing he gets the passport, but he does.

And it's issued by the passport office and...

presumably then, you know, he wants it in order to become a new citizen effectively and continue on his life.
