1. My Irish Passport arrived in December

The form is pretty simple and short , the fee is $120 and it only took 5 weeks from sending it in to getting the Fedex with the passport in it. The form only took 30 mins to fill-in. Hardest part was then finding someone to sign as a "witness" - you need to find a doctor , lawyer , banker or other professional to sign passport photos , my bank manager wouldn't do it.

Worth it for peace of mind if nothing else.
