536. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of public services cards that have been issued; the number of cards issued to persons under 18 years of age; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8165/18]

As of 15 February 2018, over 3.126 million PSCs have been issued. This includes almost 1.01 million Free Travel PSCs.
The number of PSCs currently issued to under 18 year olds is 27,315. In this context, it should be noted that a new PSC is issued to a person once he or she turns 18 years of age.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
