Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I agree with all the points raised on the passport issue. It is a disgrace that so many people who are trying to obtain their passports are losing money in the process. I ask them to abandon their protest while the talks are in progress. I am not sure we will be able to get the Minister to come to the House today. I would love him to come to the House today if at all possible but it must be borne in mind that he cannot be called at a moment's notice to come in here-----
