Can I apply for a passport in Sierra Leone while on holiday?

I am temporarily in Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone if you reside in Sierra Leone, or in the case of a lost/stolen passport while visiting here.
