Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I will certainly check that out or ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, to do so. The person concerned will be applying for both maternity benefit and child benefit. In most cases, that is when people get their PSC if they do not have one already. I am not sure what arrangements exist at the moment to facilitate people who do not have a PSC and cannot travel to an Intreo centre but I am happy to look into the matter.
