Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy might write to me about that and I will include it in my next leaflet because Fine Gael voters in Tallaght might need to hear how good I am.

The Department of Social and Family Affairs office in Tallaght provides an excellent service. It is supplemented by the citizens information centre in Tallaght village. I have heard other colleagues talk about their local citizens information centres. The operation of the citizens information centre in Tallaght represents good use of public moneys. Those offices provide a range of information on social welfare, taxation, free legal aid, family matters, health, education, housing, employment, consumer affairs, refugee information and local information. A range of application forms are available, including those for passports, driving licences, driving tests, medical cards and optical benefits, and affidavits are also available.
