Minister for Foreign Affairs

I propose to take Questions Nos. 310, 343 and 344 together.

The number of online passport applications from applicants living in counties Cavan, Cork and Monaghan are outlined below in tabular form below. 

The table also breaks down the number of applications from each county that are currently being processed by the Passport Service and the number of applications from each county that require further action from the applicant, such as the submission of additional documentation.

The Passport Service's records do not distinguish between applications from Cork City and Cork County. 

County	Total online applications in system	Passport Service processing	Awaiting further action by applicant
Cavan	1,448	840	608
Cork	10,201	6,205	3,996
Monaghan	1,134	654	480
