That is a good move on the part of Deputy Murphy.

Another aspect is eligibility with respect to the qualifying criteria for a passport. Perhaps officials in a section of the Department of Foreign Affairs that could address that aspect might also appear before the committee on that day. That would be interesting given the sharp rise in the number of people applying for an Irish passport following Brexit. I have no doubt that is not helping to reduce the queue. It would be informative and helpful to include that aspect in the discussion.
