132. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Social Protection why it is necessary to provide an up-to-date Irish passport with an application under the public services card scheme; why an out-of-date passport, where available, is not acceptable as proof of citizenship, particularly where a welfare recipient has no further need for a passport; if he will meet the cost of acquiring a new passport solely for this purpose; and if there is any other avenue available to a person who no longer holds a valid passport but requires proof of citizenship.
