After “Wrong Way” Corrigan landed in Dublin, Ireland on July 18, 1938; the immigration officials were at a loss as what to do about his exit papers when he was ready to fly back to the USA , since he landed without proper papers to enter Ireland. The Prime Minister (PM) came up with a solution.
“As the lad came into the country without any papers, why, just let him go back without any papers.”
Bureaucrats were much more realistic back then to obvious solutions.
