‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Passport Sale Allegations. Notifying holders of suspect passports
Summary
Taylor asked whether holders of the 60 passports under investigation had been told to return them; the Minister replied that police were still investigating and stressed the distinction between suspicion and proof.
The Minister has told the House that there is a suspicion of fraud in relation to 60 passports. Has a letter been sent to each of the holders of those passports saying that a suspicion attaches to the Irish passport which he or she holds and asking that it be returned to the Department of Foreign Affairs or the embassy until the matter is resolved? If a letter to that effect has not been sent, why not?
