Passport Services
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-10
============================================================

John Brady (SF), Wicklow

There is currently a great demand for passports, which is no surprise given the two years of Covid, during which people were not able to travel. Getting a passport in time is a huge problem. On top of that, Brexit has resulted in increased demand for Irish passports among Irish citizens, particularly in the North. This is causing huge problems and a huge backlog and, therefore, I ask the Minister to give an update and outline what exactly is happening in the Passport Service.
