Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2023
31. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will ensure two passports will be processed on time for the date of travel for siblings (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20307/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraWith regard to the specific applications about which the Deputy has enquired, these applications were received by the Passport Service on 31 March 2023. The turnaround time for paper applications is 8 weeks. These applications are within the turnaround time and have not yet reached their issue by date.
Passport Online is the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective way to apply for a passport. I strongly encourage the Deputy to advise his constituents to apply online and in plenty of time, in advance of booking travel.
