The Citizens Information Board (CIB) under the aegis of my Department is responsible for supporting the provision of information, advice (including money advice and budgeting) and advocacy on a wide range of public and social services. The Citizens Information Board delivers on this remit through direct provision, by supporting a network of delivery partners, and by funding targeted projects.

In 2017, the Citizens Information Board has been allocated €54.05 million from the Exchequer, of which €13.1 million has been assigned to the 42 local Citizens Information Services (CIS’s). A breakdown of this allocation per CIS is set out in the table.

The Citizens Information Services at Mallow, Mitchelstown and Fermoy are under the remit of the North and East Cork County Citizens Information Services Company, Lower Patrick Street Fermoy and the Regional Manager with responsibility for the services is Ms. Rose Morris.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
