Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I compliment the staff from the Tánaiste's office and the Passport Office who gave a briefing yesterday on the current delays in processing passport applications. Can the Tánaiste confirm how many extra staff have been recruited in the Passport Office to deal with the summer backlog? Is he taking any additional measures to address the delays?
