Ireland has a huge Polish population,they have the same values.
I guess they do not have to show id,and the Polish gave this as a name.
Hundred of people in Eire are driving around with that name.

The magic word is they.

It is quite embarrassing to see that the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities.”

The Garda in my hometown must be having great crack with this.
