520. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if she will consider a simple procedure for fathers to gain access to their child’s PPSN, personal public service number, for housing purposes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14331/20]

A person can find their Personal Public Services Number (PPSN), or that of their child, on documents such as a Public Services Card, a Medical Card or GP Visit Card, a European Health Insurance Card, or a Drugs Payment Scheme Card.

Any parent who wishes to confirm the PPSN of their child can do so by calling my Department at Lo Call 1890 927 999.

They will be asked a series of questions to verify their identity, before being provided with their child's PPSN.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
