Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Money Advice and Budgeting Service Restructuring: Discussion (Resumed)
10:45 am
Ms Ita Mangan:
We are keeping the local connection by means of the local advisory committees. We are keeping the community ethos. We are keeping the people who are working in the same place delivering the services to the same people. I think spending money on a compliance unit would be a terrible waste of money. I would much prefer to spend the money on improving services. There are many parts of the country that do not have MABS or CIS services and they badly need them. That is where we want to get to ultimately, where everybody has services everywhere.
