The number of new clients who have availed of the services of the Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS) in Kerry in 2009 and 2010 is outlined in the table below.

The Citizens Information Board, who has responsibility for the provision of the MABS, recently approved in principle a proposal to establish a joint Citizens Information Service (CIS) National Advocacy Service and MABS office in Killarney.

I am satisfied that Kerry MABS will continue to provide a high quality personal service to assist people in overcoming their indebtedness and managing their finances
