288. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Social Protection for an update on the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39798/24]

The HSE operate the registration service under the aegis of my Department.

The local HSE office in Clonmel is the office responsible for investigating any amendments to the local register of births for the case in question.

The staff of the Clonmel Office have advised that there are no records of a Statutory Declaration to amend the date of birth of the person concerned being received.

An application for review and supporting documentation confirming the correct date of birth should be submitted to the Clonmel office to progress the matter.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
