Passport applications to be reviewed after huge number of inaccurate forms received

Some 1.4 million applications for passports are expected this year.

The passport application form is to be reviewed due to the large volume of inaccurate forms it receives, the Tánaiste has confirmed.

The issue around the wait for passports was debated in the Dáil on Thursday after TDs reported being inundated with complaints and queries from constituents who could not get a passport and were at risk of missing important trips.
