Donegal Citizens Information Service (CIS) is funded through the Citizens Information Board to provide information, advice and advocacy services to the citizens of Co. Donegal. There are offices in Ballyshannon, Letterkenny, Buncrana, Carndonagh, Dungloe, Milford and Donegal Town as well as a number of outreach services.

Recruitment of a replacement staff member to the office in question is at the final stages and this will stabilise the service provided to the public in that location.

Donegal CIS will continue to provide targeted information sessions to local groups and communities where a need is identified or to meet specific requests and will keep the level of service provided in all its locations under review in line with available resources.
