Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 May 2017
313. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if a required passport can be expedited for a person (details supplied) in order for them to complete their requirements before the deadline. [21853/17]
View answerI am advised by officials in the Passport Service that the passport in question was already in production prior to receipt of this Parliamentary Question and has been dispatched. As the Deputy will be aware, the Passport Service is currently processing over 80,000 applications. Every effort is made to issue passports as swiftly as possible within the constraints of resources and in a way that is fair and equitable to all citizens.
