Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2022
498. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of new requests that have been received for a MyGOV.ie account, broken down by month, from January 2021 to date, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24550/22]
View answerMyGovID is an online account which provides citizens with a safe, secure online identity for accessing public services. A person does not need to request the Department to set up an account for them; instead, anyone can do so by visiting www.mygovid.ie.
The number of new MyGovID accounts that have been created each month since January 2021 is shown in the table below. (Note: The figure given for May 2022 is from 01 May to 11 May inclusive.)
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
