I'm still planning the passport run to corky for Monday Early am
... although I would prefer dublin I've just checked passport website and as I read it munster rule seens to apply mainly if your posting
however I think it seems ok to apply in person where ever you live

anyone know for sure... I need the brownie points for this excuse for a run

Regular Postal Applications
You should only apply by regular post if you do not require your passport for at least 4-6 weeks.
Passport application forms are available from all Garda stations and from Post Offices which provide the Passport Express service. The completed application form should be sent to either address below. Applicants in Munster should post to Cork, applicants in the rest of Ireland should post to Dublin.

The Passport Office The Passport Office

Applying in person

The Passport Offices in Dublin and Cork are open from 9.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

The Dublin and Cork Offices are closed at weekends but an emergency service is available outside office hours at the telephone numbers given here. An administrative fee is charged for this emergency service.

If you live abroad.
In general you should allow at least 4-6 weeks for the processing of your passport via your local Mission. This includes the transmission of your application by email to the Dublin Passport Office where the passport is printed and the return of the passport to the Mission concerned by the diplomatic bag service.
The opening hours of Irish Diplomatic and Consular Missions vary from country to country depending on local practice. You should telephone in advance if you wish to call an Irish Mission to obtain a passport.

Left 5.30 Monday Morning and had a great spin to cork,
the passport staff were brilliant and yery helpful,they said there were a lot of people from the northern territortories down this week avoiding the dublin delays,
There is a 15 - 21 day processing timeframe unless you can prove special circumstances but no big queues like dublin.

Any way blew out a few cobwebs
It was my first time in cork city and I was very impressed people very nice and helpful & not to forget to thank kearnys for a hot coffee and dry neck tube
...768 very wet and cold km covered and loved every minute of that day
