Does a PPS Number have any meaning?

Many Revenue systems are programmed to take 8 digits and a letter eventually, when it becomes necessary. I presume that this will create a lot of hassle for employers payroll systems. The PPS could be in use for many years after someones death if the estate has liabilities. Anyway, PPS numbers are actually issued by Dept of Social Welfare, not Revenue, so I would presume they have made contingencies for having more than 10 million numbers available
 
Thanks for the interesing insights!

I have cranked up excel and have been able to recreate the "mod 23" checksum validation. In the case of women with two characters at the end the validation ignores the ninth character (nearly but not always a W).

Thanks again.
