Passports belonging to a mother and her four children were declared lost in October 2012. As outlined in my recent reply to the house the Passport Office has referred the circumstances of the loss of these passports to An Garda Síochána and investigations are still ongoing regarding this matter. A decision on issuance of any further passports and fees required to the people in question will be made on conclusion of the investigation. An update on this investigation will be provided to the family early next month.
