Question:

514. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of applications for a public services card in 2022 and to date in 2023. [25019/23]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

Some 696,000 Public Services Cards (PSC) issued in 2022 of which 285,000 were Free Travel cards.

From January to end April this year, some 235,500 PSCs were issued of which almost 95,000 were Free Travel cards.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
