The total current spending to date for the Passport Service is €6,006,600.04, not including staff salaries. Of this, the capital spending figure is €1,061,440.01.

While the majority of current spending is to support and maintain the operations of the Passport Service there is also expenditure related to the Passport Reform Programme. This programme is focused on building on the reforms delivered to date and continuing to modernise, improve and protect both the integrity of the Irish passport as well as the environment and systems that underpin delivery by the Passport Service for our citizens.

Adequate staffing of the Passport Service to respond to demand is a priority for my Department and is an issue that is kept under constant review.

Over 400 staff have been added to the Passport Service since June 2021 and 120 have joined in recent weeks. Additional permanent and temporary officers are being assigned on a continuous basis to the Passport Service.

The Passport Service recently ran its own recruitment competition for Temporary Clerical Officers with a view to maintain staffing levels throughout the year to meet the demand expected in the coming months. The Department has also been working with the HSE to provide opportunities to contact tracing staff to transfer to the Passport Service. The first group of 28 of these staff were assigned to the Customer Service Hub last week, which will further increase the number of staff answering customer queries.

This recruitment drive will see staffing numbers of over 900 at the Passport Service, which is twice the number that were in place last summer.

I am confident that the additional staff that have been assigned and will continue to be recruited over the coming weeks will have a positive impact on processing times, particularly for first time passport applications.

The number of Passport Service staff by grade are outlined below in tabular form.
