The Citizen’s Information Board (CIB) is the only body under the aegis of the Department that receives in excess of €1 million funding per annum.

The 2017 REV Estimates provide for a grant of €54.05m to the CIB. The CIB 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 CIB delivers on this remit through direct provision, by supporting a network of delivery partners, and by funding targeted projects. CIB requires annual service agreements with its network of service delivery partners.
