Written Answers. - Passport Applications.
I am happy to advise the Deputy that persons over 65 years of age may obtain either a three year or ten year passport. The fees respectively are €12 and €57. These fees have remained unchanged since 1992, other than on the occasion of the introduction of the euro, when they were rounded down to the nearest euro.
