I remind all Deputies that the passport service updates its website weekly with turnaround times. An Post's passport express renewal applications are taking 13 to 14 working days to process. The first time application takes somewhat longer. However, every effort is being made to meet this unprecedented challenge within the Passport Office and I will keep the Deputies fully informed having regard to the points raised by Deputy Darragh O'Brien.
