I propose to take Questions Nos. 46, 81 and 82 together.

Passport Online allows citizens to apply online for their passport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is available to 100% of applicants globally.

International applicants are required to apply online and passport applications are processed by Passport Service staff in Ireland. All passports are issued in Ireland.

The Passport Service does not collect data on any additional citizenships held by Irish passport applicants.
