I received my passport back today ( 5th Nov) even though I got an email to confirm the address on 26th October itself. Took 10 days.
Based on the dates on the acknowledgment letter (26th Oct), fee receipt (Lodgement week 29 Oct), and the tracking details on AnPost (04 November 2021 14:21 We have your post in TIPPERARY D.S.U., CO TIPPERARY), there is a delay of 9 days from the time it was processed and was sent out in the post.
It seems like they send out the passports in batches, probably weekly or when they have accumulated enough to process all of em at once.
I think this is not a great process as this will lead to people panicking when they don't get their passport even after a week of getting a call/email and waiting for it for 4+ months. They at least should send them out once in two days.
So yeah anyone who is waiting for it, don't panic, wait for around 10-15 days and if you still haven't received it then you better reach out to them. Let's hope this all will change soon
