Personal Public Service Numbers
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-03
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

This question asks the Minister whether she is aware of the long delays that people are experiencing when applying for personal public service, PPS, numbers. Can she give us the number of applications that are pending decision at the moment? Will she consider putting in additional resources in order to clear the backlog, or is this something she has already done?
