So far in 2023, the Passport Service has issued over 43,000 passports to applicants residing north of the border
Tanaiste Micheal Martin said there is "no basis" for setting up a passport office in correspondence with SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan, who had called for one to be based in the North West.
However, Mr Martin pointed to the "considerable advantages" of online passport services and stated: "My Department does not currently have grounds for proposing that an additional Passport Office be opened." He continued: “Following correspondence with the Irish government they’ve confirmed that over 43,000 Irish passports were issued across Northern Ireland in the first six months of 2023, which I feel is testament to the increasing demand and growing need for an additional physical office. The Department for Foreign Affairs are reluctant to open an additional passport office but have committed to improving services.
