Passport Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-27
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

What measures is the Tánaiste putting in place to ensure we do not see the backlog of passport applications that we saw in recent years? Will he outline the measures that will be taken to ensure that applicants for passports, particularly first-time applicants, can have access to an accelerated processing of a passport when it is necessary?
