Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2024
55. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if a passport application by a person (details supplied) will be reviewed and expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25115/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraWith regard to the specific application about which the Deputy has enquired, this is a paper application which was received on 9th May 2024. The turnaround time for paper applications is 8 weeks. This application is within the turnaround time and has not yet reached its issue-by date.
I strongly encourage the Deputy to advise his constituents of the advantages of using the substantially more efficient Passport Online service, which is now used by more than 90% of applicants worldwide.
