It is not possible to provide figures prior to 2006. The following figures detail the number of passports issued to Irish citizens, adults and minors, from 2006 – 2014 by Embassy-Country Location. It should be noted that the country reflects the location through which the application was lodged and not necessarily the country of residence of the citizen at the time of application.
