Question:

1128. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Social Protection when the Civil Registration Service phoneline and email will be operational again; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39851/21]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The phone line and email referred to by the Deputy are maintained by the Health Services Executive which operates the civil registration service.

I have been informed that the HSE are dealing with a large backlog of applications for certificates and registrations and that this is affecting the operation of their phone line and email service.

I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
