Hey ladies, do ya remember when pips magically got Billy's passport super quick or so it seemed and a few people on here seemed to have experience of applying for newborn passport etc my sis in law applied for her boy's passport at start of march, it gave a date of 5th of May to be done, they were going at end of May but no sign of passport yet, anyone any tips or advice as to how to speed it up?
She rang them and finally got through after a mill calls last week but they couldn't give her a date just said its going through final security checks

This happened my friend, apparently the application was set to the wrong status, whatever that means and it was slowing it down. Only thing you can do is keep phoning and ask to check status. They got with 2 days to spare.

Thanks so much,I'll say it to her. She's worried the baby's might come in time but then hers has to be returned as well which will come separately maybe a week after

I am very familiar with straffan. It’s a bit of a mad place in that it is the very height of notions. And it’s all a bit baffling to me. It was a tiny village now it’s viewed as some kind of salubrious location and I can’t understand why. It has no shops apart from a tiny mace. If you want to do a grocery shop you have to queue in very heavy traffic to get into Maynooth or Clane. It has no secondary school and one cafe. Honestly, never saw the big draw unless like Pippa you have the money to live in the k club which to be fair is lovely

It all changed around the time of the Ryder Cup, it was a small village where everyone knew everyone now it's just alot of overpriced houses full of people with notions. Sad really!

Read somewhere before that Straffan has the lowest number of social housing per capital for an area in Kildare so maybe that's the draw?
Up until recently there were very few semi Ds, it was mostly small estates with large detached houses or other one off houses and the K Club, so definitely losing its appeal now
Having lived in leixlip for years I can't think of too many other places around where you can live walking distance to village with shop, pub, beauticians, butchers, loadsa restaurants if you count all the ones in k club, barberstown, your kids can go to a small country school and Dublin is only half an hour way if no traffic
 
Straffan is close to kill, Johnstown and naas. It had plenty going for it in terms of small village, small enough population. Easy spin to anything you needs. It’s getting bigger now.
There are no secondary schools in kill Johnstown or sallins either. Johnstown is probably the worst of all in terms of amenities

Are you in a location that you can go into the passport office? My brother was similar to your situation and he went in to flag its urgency coz he was getting no where with ringing. He got the PP 2 days later. Worth a try!

Well it's very boring coming back to a thread, thinking there are new posts only to find people having a full on conversation about there own lives and passports! 🙄 There was 7 posts in row there about passports and more on the previous page. That's not what the thread is for!

Again give us something you'd like to talk about then. I like hearing people's view on her garden, Straffan and if someone throws in the odd comment about passports now and again I read and move on. No big deal.

You do realise this is a thread for Pippa. I don't need to add anything if it doesn't relate to her!! You don't need to throw in random topics just because you want to. You're derailing the thread. I never mentioned anything about Straffan as that is relevant to Pippa. The passport situation isn't.
