487. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if the Passport Office can confirm that the details pertaining to the passports of persons (details supplied) were used illegally by a third party elsewhere in Europe; if the United States authorities referred this matter to the Passport Office as the passport holders were denied a visa to visit the United States of America on the basis of the attempted illegal use of this passport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I can confirm that the case to which the Deputy refers is subject to investigation, including by my Department. As the investigation is ongoing, a detailed statement is not appropriate at this time.
