PQ 132
132. Deputy Anthony Lawlor asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the reason it is €15 more expensive to have a passport application processed through the standard post system rather than Passport Express, particularly considering it can take between four and eight weeks to process the former as opposed to ten working days with the latter; the reason neither the passport application nor form notes display the fees for passport applications; his views on whether this leads to confusion for persons who do not have access to the internet or immediate direct contact with a person in the know to check the correct fee; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
