Pyrite Resolution Board (Register of Users)

Last Updated April 2019

Does your organisations use the PPS Number at present?

Yes.

If so, for what purpose(s) ?

The PRB require applicants to provide the PPS Number as a unique identifier in validating their application with us. The PPS Number identifies applicants that have made a previous submission and are therefore not eligible under the terms and conditions of the Scheme.

Does your organisation exchange the PPS Number with any other body? If so please name the relevant bodies and state the purpose(s) of the exchange

The Pyrite Resolution Board is supported by technical staff assigned from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, and therefore there are no exchanges with Revenue & Department of Social Protection for staff in relation to wages etc.

I can confirm that the Pyrite Resolution Board does not exchange PPSNs with any other body.

Does your organisation have any other plans involving the use of the PPS Number?

No
