Written answers

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade

The Department currently has a dedicated channel of communication for Oireachtas representatives, and any passport-related queries through this channel are dealt with without delay. Details are regularly circulated to Oireachtas members. I will make arrangements to have the details recirculated in the coming days.
