Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
183. Deputy John O'Mahony asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the number of passports issued to persons living here in 2010, 2011 and 2012 in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16819/13]
View answerThe Passport Service technology system does not record “address” information in the structured format necessary to facilitate the production of management information in relation to place of residency, place of birth etc. The availability of this information would require a fundamental redesign of the system, which could not be cost justified for this facility alone. This matter will be addressed in the context of any major system changes which may emerge in the future.
