Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 June 2015
670. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his plans to revise the wording of the existing Passport Express web page on the An Post website in order to provide further clarity and updates for applicants about current and expected turnaround times; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23176/15]
View answerAn Post is responsible for the details of its services on its website. Of course An Post is a strategic partner of my Department with regard to the delivery of passport express services and for this reason its website links to the Departments website for performance reports on actual turnaround periods. Currently the turnaround time for Passport Express is on average 10 working days for renewal application and 12 working days for first time applicants or for those who have lost or had their passports stolen.
