For the period, 1st January to 31st December 2022, an overall total of 305,889 Personal Public Service Numbers (PPSNs) have been issued by my Department.

Of this overall total, 56,954 PPSNs were allocated for children whose births were registered with the General Register Office.

Details on PPSN allocations by nationality to the end of December 2022 can be viewed at www.gov.ie/en/collection/a78027-statistics-on-personal-public-service-pps-numbers-issued/#2022

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
