The application for this person was registered in the Passport Office in Balbriggan (PPOB) on 4 March, 2010. As result of disruptions to passport services due to industrial action, there was a delay in the processing of this application. On 23 March, the application was checked for passport entitlement. Unfortunately, the application could not be finalised for passport issue because the person's signature, which would appear on his passport, was too faint.

The PPOB wrote to the applicant on 24 March to inform him of the position and to advise him on the steps that have to be taken to progress his application to passport issue. A reply was received from the applicant on 29 March. This resulted in the approval of his application and the issue of his passport later that day.
