Michael Ring

Question:

246. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social Protection when a PPS number will issue to a person (details supplied) considering that their application was submitted in September 2020 and the delay is causing undue financial hardship with the deduction of emergency tax from their wages; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41041/20]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

I can confirm that my Department has allocated a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) to the individual referred to by the Deputy. A letter issued to the individual on 30th November 2020 with details of the PPSN.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
