Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

This amendment deals with the changes to the various bodies and groups authorised to use a personal public service, PPS, number for the purposes of carrying out transactions with members of the public and for sharing personal data and information among themselves. I propose the provision be extended to local authority franchise officers to ensure everyone's PPS number rather than address is used for determining the electoral register. It would also mean the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government would have to introduce legislation to this effect.
