My Department is committed to providing high-level services to the public both at home and abroad. These services include passports, consular assistance and a range of other citizenship and consular functions. My Department also provides non-consular services to Irish communities abroad including the Certificate of Irish Heritage project which is outsourced. The Certificate of Irish Heritage is operated by Fexco, one of Ireland's largest indigenous outsourcing providers, under licence from my Department. The service is funded solely by the fee paid by applicants and the Department has no ongoing funding commitment.
