I am happy to support the Supplementary Estimate. I agree with the Minister of State on the improvement in the Passport Service. The marked improvement should be publicly acknowledged. For a couple of years, members of the public seeking to renew their passport or avail of the passport application service experienced significant frustration. The online platform has brought the service forward to a great extent. There is an excellent facility whereby people can apply before midday for an appointment on the following day. I ask that more capacity be made available within that aspect of the service.
