Ms Barbara Jones:

I will focus on the passport reform programme. We are making a highly ambitious and necessary move to continue the programme that we started in 2016. We started out with a very significant investment of €21.5 million. Our completion date is September 2021. We are now moving towards a final delivery phase of a programme called the passport issuance and processing system, PIPS, not orange pips but a programme for identification, passport and foreign birth registration. We will deliver the final phase of the project of taking traditional paper-based processing and streamlining and re-engineering the service for delivery in 2023.
