Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2019
197. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a PPS number will be issued to a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8909/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe legal requirements for a Personal Public Service (PPS) Number to be allocated are that the person satisfies the Minister as to his or her identity and provides evidence as to why a PPS Number is required (i.e. to carry out a transaction with a specified body, a body specified in legislation as authorised to use PPS Numbers).
The person concerned has attended her local PPS Number allocation centre but did not, at that time, provide a valid reason to have a PPS Number allocated. She has been contacted and asked to bring in the evidence now available so that a PPS Number can be allocated to her.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
