Many Members have brought up the issue of engagement with the Garda. We need a memorandum of understanding on and a technological solution to that.

It could be any sort of reminder. A couple of people asked me why it cannot be like the reminder you get for your motor tax. I am not sure that everybody necessarily follows through on that as they should, but we need to make sure that we make it as easy as possible and remind people about it. There is always an informative piece that needs to happen. We need to inform people to check their passports before they book holidays, particularly ones that are just about to run out. We know that people who are travelling to the US and farther afield at times can have an issue where their passports can run out within a six-month period or so.
