I want to ask about and bring to the attention of the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the passport applications that are unsuccessful and the administrative issue that arises where an unsuccessful application is notified quite late in the process. The process does not necessarily allow applicants to amend the errors and there is a lack of an efficient and effective system in place should they wish to correct the errors and get their passports on time, which causes disruption in travel. Do the Department or the Minister have any feedback on that matter?
