Minister for Foreign Affairs

I propose to take Questions Nos. 385 and 388 together.

With regard to the specific applications about which the Deputies have inquired the Passport Service has cancelled these applications upon receipt of urgent counter appointment applications. Subsequently, rapid renewal passports have issued to the applicants.
