Shouldn't be too long the turnaround time for first time adult applying for a passport is according to the website min 30 working days. https://www.dfa.ie/passports/turnaround-times/ just to set expectations, my wife applied for hers earlier in the year from the UK and it took best part of 4 months.

Hi Mozza, the email address was fbrclarification@dfa.ie

I’ve been checking my junk mail religiously in fear of missing something but this one went straight to the inbox. Fingers crossed you’ll be hearing from them soon

Jaxx22 I recommend giving them a call when you have a free morning, you will eventually get through. I was then able to give them the application numbers and they could confirm that they had received them. At the very least it would put your mind at ease as to whether they have the application or not

I g...

excellent, thanks so much, with hindsight we should have all applied together but I never thought it would be this arduous,

at least I don't have to choose between which sister to give the supporting info to first now!

thanks again

Hi there, I am currently seeking FBR for my children (submitted last September – still waiting) Both of my sisters would like to do the same for their own children but are waiting for the return of the supporting documents (parents and grandparents marriage certificates etc.) from my application bef...

Jaxx22 The reference to July applications could refer to transfer of the backlog from the London embassy. It may be that the priority for the DFA now is to work through that . This would make sense as it is likely to be more economically influential in the event of a no deal Brexit - hopefully now ...
