Written answers

Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

A Public Services Card is not required for access to any of the services currently provided by my Department or any body under its aegis. I am also advised that there are currently no proposals to make services or payments dependant on the mandatory use and production of the public services card.
