Two employees of the Passport Office have been arrested as part of an investigation into passport fraud.

It follows investigations by the Department of Foreign Affairs and gardaí.

The Passport Office launched an investigation in May after internal checks revealed irregularities regarding two passports that were being issued.

Superfan devotion or elaborate Garda sting operation?

YOU decide.

Members of Future Matters were out campaigning yesterday evening when four five Labour Senators – Jimmy Harte, Denis Landy, John Whelan, James Heffernan and John Kelly – joined them unexpectedly. They were full of support for the campaign for Seanad reform. Nice to see people within the Government come out against Enda’s abolition proposal so early!
How long until Enda and Co try have them whipped into line?
