Can I apply for a passport in Egypt while on holiday?

I’m temporarily in Egypt but normally live in another country; can I apply for an Irish passport here?

No, you must apply in the country you are normally resident in. You should only apply to the Passport Section at the Irish Embassy in Cairo if you reside in Egypt, or in the case of a lost/stolen passport while visiting here.
