Higgins asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will undertake necessary actions to end the impasse at the passport office; if he and high ranking officials in both the Department of Foreign Affairs generally and those with responsibility for the Passport Office itself will engage in direct dialogue with union spokespersons; if management at the Passport Office will also address issues within its area of responsibility, including the availability of passport printing machines and management of queues at the office; and if this will be treated as a matter of extreme urgency for the many people who are in need of having their passports renewed for planned trips over the coming days, as well as seeking a fair resolution to the matter for all workers in the passport office.
