So, something like:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION hll_pg_fn_ident_insert()
      RETURNS TRIGGER AS $pg_fn$
        -- ROW AFTER TRIGGER
        -- trigger passes identifier_type and _description
        -- received as ARGV[0] and ARGV[1]
      BEGIN
        BEGIN
          INSERT INTO identifiers(...
          ...
        EXCEPTION
          WHEN ....
        END;
      RETURN NULL:
      END;
