Travelling while applying for a new Irish passport

Travelling while applying for a new Irish passport - White and Orange Plastic Container

When I apply for a new Irish passport, I don't have to submit my existing passport (only a photocopy) because it has fewer than 365 days of remaining validity. However, the application form says that once my new passport is issued, my existing passport will "be cancelled and no longer valid for travel".

However, if I'm travelling on my existing passport at the time at which it is cancelled, will I have problems coming home (to a European country that is not Ireland)?
