Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
348. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the outlets that exist in the six north-eastern counties of Ireland for Irish passport application forms, as ease of access is important; if he will consider and/or approve the availability of Irish passport application forms through community facilities on an expressed interest basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerPassport Express available in over 70 post offices in Northern Ireland and application forms are available in all these Post Offices. In addition many elected public officials also provide them at their constituency offices. It is the policy of the Government to ensure the widest availability of application forms to all sections of the community in Northern Ireland. Therefore the Passport Service would welcome expressions of interest from any community organizations looking to stock passport application forms. They can contact Ms. Liz Finn, Head of the Molesworth Street Passport Office.
