I have a number of questions. The officials might just come back to me on each of them. The Comptroller and Auditor General suggested - and I agree that it would be a good idea - that there be a separation between passport and visa and consular services from the point of view of the accounts. Will that be taken on board?

The Book of Estimates for 2019 included a new metric for Passport Online, which was that 95% of the online applications were completed within ten days. This was subsequently changed to 20 days in 2020. Was that exclusively for 2020? Has that been changed back to ten days?

Is the Passport Office facility in Limerick temporary or permanent? This was in our previous report.
