I can confirm that my Department has allocated a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) to the individual referred to by the Deputy and a letter issued to the person concerned on 15th December 2020 with details of her PPSN. Officials from the Department have contacted the applicant for the requisite details so that her applications for PPSNs for her two children can also be processed.
Upon receipt of outstanding information, these applications will be processed without delay.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
