    Do you actually live or work in Ireland? If you work in Ireland already then it should be on your pay slip.

    Your employer doesn't issue your PPS, revenue does. I'm fairly sure you could give them a call and get it posted out.

    I didn't work either when I first arrived in Ireland but still got a PPS number. I seem to recall I had to go to the local Welfare office to get it, not Revenue.

    A long time ago, 2001, but it's still the same procedure basically.

    It's all there on the citizensinformation.ie website ...

    Only the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP) can issue you with a PPS number. Find your local PPSN registration centre here and give them a visit.
