I spoke with an official from the Dept of Foreign Affairs yesterday for an update on the review being conducted by the Dept concerning the special passport service provided by TDs (See here).
He didn’t have the terms of reference to hand but informed me that the review had commenced and was expected to be completed before the summer recess.
Essentially, TDs and Senators will be asked for their views on the service and a check is to be made on other jurisdictions to see if a similar service is provided.
