Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We are doing so. The manner in which we have approached this issue is to increase the number of appointments at public counters for the one-day or four-day renewal service at the Mount Street office in Dublin and the four-day renewal service in Cork. As I said, every week there are about 221 one-day and 264 four-day renewal appointments available in Dublin and 280 four-day renewal appointments in Cork. We will examine whether we can improve and expand that service in order to get the balance right and deal with the urgent cases that arise.
