Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 July 2017
1494. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Social Protection the way in which families can access the PPS number of a sibling that has been in residential care for that person's lifetime; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35245/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraUnder data protection legislation my Department is prohibited from providing personal details of a customer to another member of the public. However if a person is legally responsible for that customer’s affairs and can provide proof of this responsibility, my Department will be happy to provide the information that is required.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
