Irish citizens can now apply for the new passport card it has been revealed this morning.
As reported last week, the new passport card is available for Irish citizens and allows travel to 30 countries, to include EU countries and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
The card is valid for five years and can be applied for from today for a cost of €35.
Meanwhile, the passport office has reminded people that there may be a disruption to their services due to the postal strike.
Anyone who is travelling abroad in the next ten days and are awaiting documents should contact the office and make an emergency appointment.
