Deputy Byrne has prompted me to ask the first question, which relates to head scarves or the burqa. How does the office handle those situations?

Reference was made to the surplus that is being generated. The State does not have a great record of reducing prices. Invariably, we increase them. Is the approximate €10 difference between the €63 and €52-odd in the cost of producing passports a sustainable difference? Will it increase in future?
