Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 January 2023
412. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Social Protection the total number of personal public service numbers issued between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, broken down by the nationalities to whom they were issued, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3242/23]
View answerFor the period, 1st January to 31st December 2022, an overall total of 305,889 Personal Public Service Numbers (PPSNs) have been issued by my Department.
Of this overall total, 56,954 PPSNs were allocated for children whose births were registered with the General Register Office.
Details on PPSN allocations by nationality to the end of December 2022 can be viewed at www.gov.ie/en/collection/a78027-statistics-on-personal-public-service-pps-numbers-issued/#2022
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
