Might be one of these?

Certificates PRSA 1, PRSA 1 (Net Pay), PRSA 2 AVC (Net Pay)
Relevant Certificate(s) will be available from the PRSA provider as follows:
PRSA 1 Certificate - This certificate will be issued to individuals taking out a PRSA product not linked to an Occupational or Statutory Pension Scheme. There will be no income tax relief due on contributions made to this type of PRSA if the individual is a member of an Occupational or Statutory Pension Scheme unless he or she has other relevant earnings against which the relief may be allowed.
PRSA 1 (Net Pay) Certificate - This certificate will be issued to employees and directors who are not members of an Occupational or Statutory Pension Scheme.
PRSA 2 AVC (Net Pay) Certificate - This certificate will be issued to employees and directors taking out a PRSA AVC product which is linked to an Occupational or Statutory Pension Scheme.

If you made an AVC into an occupational pension scheme, there is no certificate like those issued for personal pensions and PRSAs. The Revenue should know this. The letter of endorsement from the life company should suffice.
