Mr. Pat Mellon:

To reiterate what Mr. Moynihan said, we all have PPS numbers. The simple fact of the matter, as Mr. Moynihan said, is that there are so many different grants in so many different Departments. The PPS number tells us the age we reach. Even for a TV licence, at a certain age, if you are entitled to it, Revenue has that information and it should be automatic. People should not have to go look for it. Their TV licence, medical card, or whatever it is should arrive. People should not have to look for it or sign anything.
