New online passport service should address turnaround delays, says Canney
The new online passport service launched this week should help in further reducing turnaround times and potential delays, Minister of State and Galway East TD, Sean Canney has said.
Irish citizens who are over 18, and have held an Irish Passport can now apply for their Passport Book and/or Passport Card online through https://www.dfa.ie/passportonline/
“Renewing your Irish passport will now become a lot easier,” said Minister Canney. “Demand for Irish passports is increasing all the time and last year, some 733,000 passports were issued with a further seven per cent increase expected in 2017.”
“A growing population and increased travelling by Irish citizens means that demand remains high. Additional staff have been recruited to deal with the increase demand with the Passport Office employing over 230 temporary clerical offices during peak season,” said Minister Canney.
Minister Canney has also taken the opportunity to contact Foreign Affairs, Charlie Flanagan in relation to the location of a dedicated passport office in Tuam to serve the Western region.
