Credit to the department of Foreign Affairs! I used their online facility to apply for a new passport yesterday morning and received a shiny new one (above) courtesy of An Post this morning.
Credit where it is Due! A happy potential traveller!

Amazing how efficient the service is since they outsourced it!
Are you sure it’s outsourced?
Yup, APS was delivered by Bearingpoint:

It’s taking them four weeks (and counting) to process my son’s application.
God I remember my first passport. took 6 weeks to come. My 2nd passport picture made me look like a Russian hitman and I was stuck with that for 6 years
Yep, renewed mine online at the end of May and arrived in less than 48 hours. The only hassle I had was covering my roots and sticking on makeup for the lady in the pharmacy to take my photo. It turned out awful anyway but job was done
And here I am, waiting for my driver license from another EU country to be replaced with an Irish one (Go Car is no longer accepting foreign licenses, so I had to switch). It’s been 15 weeks since I sent them my old one, and whenever I call I get the same response that “it may take up to 12 weeks”, even when I complain that it’s been taking well over 12 weeks. Time to outsource that service as well.
