There has been a significant backlog in issuing passports.
In mid-April there was a backlog of 92,000 but by Thursday of last week that number had been reduced to 89,000.
According to media reports 44,000 of the applications in the backlog were from people living in the Republic of Ireland.
Covid is a significant contributing factor to the backlog. Brexit too is not helping.
But why right now would anyone want a passport?
Today is World Press Freedom Day.
