A passport application for the named person was registered with the Passport Office in Balbriggan on 23 March, 2010. It was received through the Passport Express service which is a ten day guarantee service that is provided by the Passport Office in partnership with An Post.
However, due to industrial action the Passport Express guarantee was suspended on 4 March. As a result it is at present taking up to twenty working days to process Passport Express applications. As applications are being processed on a first come first served basis, the application in question will not be processed until the third week of April.
