    If Ireland would follow standard continental practice and not slavishly follow what our nearest neighbours do, then you'd have a national ID card with your current address on it and when you move you'd simply go to your nearest town hall where they'd update the address. This would be compulsory within a set time of moving. With systems like this in place, you can open a bank account easily. Of course people think you lose civil liberties by having sucha a sytsem blah blah but having lived in a country with compulsory registration of address (carrying the actual ID with address on it is not compulsory) it is simply much more convenient. As a side benefit, the ID can be used for travel in the EU.

    This law doesn't hamper the criminals, only us ordinary, honest, law abiding citizens.

    Actually, it does, quite a bit. Much as it suits you to ignore that.
    I brought this up as a discussion point, not looking for advice. This is a discussion board, no?

    It's a site where discussions can take place. The focus on this forum, however, is for those requiring practical advice on financial matters, not theorethical debates. As such, we'll close it off then as that's what you appear to be seeking.
