Circa 2018, I was travelling from Greece to Germany. For whatever reason, the Bundespolizie decided to check everyone’s passports. In particular everyone from Ireland was demanded to have a passport - their identity card wasn’t good enough.

They probably singled out Irish citizens because Ireland (just like the UK) doesn't provide ID cards...

But they have a "passport card"

I don't see why Bundespolizie would have had to treat people differently, alas it's usually difficult to argue with a foreign country border police
