If we bring in officials for a three-hour meeting, it would be helpful to indicate we want the passport issue to be part of the engagement. Passports are a problem and a number of things have happened. We all forgot to renew our passports because we forgot we would ever need to leave the country again when we were dealing with Covid. Hopefully, we have reached the end of that now. I know from replies to parliamentary questions that the Department has a programme of reform and investment in place and is recruiting extra staff. It would be timely to have officials from the Department before the committee.
