The total current spending to date for the Passport Service is €6,006,600.04, not including staff salaries. Of this, the capital spending figure is €1,061,440.01.
While the majority of current spending is to support and maintain the operations of the Passport Service there is also expenditure related to the Passport Reform Programme. This programme is focused on building on the reforms delivered to date and continuing to modernise, improve and protect both the integrity of the Irish passport as well as the environment and systems that underpin delivery by the Passport Service for our citizens.
