I share his view on the Passport Office. It is good to see an increase in the staffing levels to deal with the increased level of applications.It would be interesting to have a debate on how we might make access to passports easier for people. I do not see any reason why we could not have such a debate in Derry, Belfast or wherever else. I would very much welcome that.

Senator Murnane O'Connor referenced the recent daft.iereport. I would be happy to have the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government appear before the House.
