Mr. Tomás Lally:

I thank the joint committee for giving me the opportunity to make a presentation. I am the development manager at Citizens Information Services, CIS, in County Mayo. I am here in my capacity as chairperson of the National Development Managers Network, NDMN, a national group which represents the views of development managers. Development managers are responsible for the management of Citizens Information Services across the country. I am joined by my colleagues, Ms Orla Barry, development manager in Sligo, and Ms Sinead Conefrey, development manager in County Leitrim, who are also members of the executive of the NDMN. We are here as concerned managers, representing a network of development managers, and to add our contribution to the review of the Money Advice and Budgeting Service, MABS, and CIS. We are aware that the committee has requested details of any cost-benefit analysis from the Citizens Information Board, CIB. Is it possible for us to have sight of those documents because we would like to have an opportunity to make some informed comment on them?
