Documents received: 22/7/21 (Changed to processing)
Estimated issue date: 27/9/21

For those people who have received your Irish passport, did you have to send in your current [other nationality] passport as part of your supporting documentation for your Irish passport? The language on the application seems pretty clear that's required, but I'm reluctant to put my passport in the...
