Question 165: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs, further to his comments in Dáil Éireann on 20 May 2010, if he will comment on his Department's plans to deliver a passport office to the north west of Ireland; if he will identify when this passport office will be delivered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As I indicated on 20 May last I have identified the necessity to examine further contingency arrangements for passport production. This could include the provision of passport production equipment in the North West and the South of the country. I have asked my officials to examine the feasibility of providing this service. However, as the examination is at a very early stage it is premature to confirm if or when a passport office might be opened in the North West. As of now and into the future, passport applications can be submitted through the Passport Express Service available at Post Offices across the North West and throughout the country.
