Michael Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and I will be brief. Regarding the Passport Office website, it states that first-time applications will take 35 working days to process, which is seven weeks. I have continuously found, however, that passports can take much longer than this to process. Nothing is wrong with those applications and no further information is requested. The staff working on the urgent TD line are absolutely brilliant. I compliment them and thank them for their work.
