Passport Services
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-15
============================================================

Verona Murphy (IND), Wexford

A similar question has been asked by Deputy Carthy on this issue, but the Tánaiste might wish to elaborate on it. What further measures is the Department of Foreign Affairs considering to alleviate some of the difficulties being experienced by first-time passport applicants, particularly when additional information is requested and the timeframe that adds to applications in those instances? I ask him to make a statement on this.
