There are currently 11 Community Intervention Teams (CITs) in place in Dublin North, Dublin South, Cork, Galway, Mid-West (Limerick/Clare/Tipperary), Carlow/Kilkenny, Wicklow, Kildare, Louth, Meath & Waterford.

As the provision of funding for CITs is a service issue, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with the Executive.
