A Personal Public Service Number (PPS Number) may be allocated to a person who can show that he or she has a requirement for one in order to carry out a transaction with a specified body, and provides proof of identity, and evidence of address. The allocation of a PPS Number to a person does not, in itself, provide any entitlement to residency, employment or welfare rights.
Details of Personal Public Service Numbers (PPS Numbers) allocated during the year 2012 are available on my Department’s Website here:

The other figures which the Deputy is looking for are not available.
