Sinn Féin Moor representative Aisling Hutton has said there is a growing demand for an Irish passport office in the North.
Speaking after a day of action across the city by the party collecting names for a petition demanding action on the issue she said: “We received a great response in the city at the weekend for our ongoing campaign for the Irish Government to open a passport office in the North.
“Hundreds of local people signed the petition, showing there is now a clear need for an Irish Passport Office in the north to help meet the rising demand for Irish passport services.
“Our offices have been inundated over recent months with people seeking help with passport applications ahead of the busy summer season.
“It’s time for the Irish government to accept that investing in a passport office in the north to assist the huge number of applicants who live here, is common sense.”
