43. To ask the Minister for Social Protection if and when a PPS number will issue in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Laois whose parent is an Irish citizen; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4195/15]

The Personal Public Service Number is the individual’s unique reference number for all dealings with Government Departments and public bodies.
Residents who do not have a PPS Number and need one should complete an application form (REG 1), attend in person at a PPS Number allocation centre, provide acceptable evidence of identity and address, demonstrate the reason why s/he requires the allocation of a PPS Number, and facilitate the capture of a photograph and signature. The nearest PPS Number allocation centre for the person concerned is the Department’s Branch Office in Portlaoise.
I have made enquiries, and the Department is not aware of an application for a PPS Number for the person concerned. I understand that the Deputy has been advised that attendance in person is required, been given details as to where the person should attend and what documents are required.
