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.

North Kildare Citizens Information Services (CIS) which is set to receive funding of €216,000 from the Citizens Information Board in 2017, delivers its services from a dedicated Citizens Information Centre in Maynooth and provides weekly outreach services at Leixlip and Johnstownbridge. A weekly outreach service was also provided in Celbridge Library up to April of this year, when due to accommodationdifficulties, the service was suspended.

North Kildare CIS is actively seeking an alternative premises in order to reinstate the service in the town. In the meantime, people can contact the main CIS office in Maynooth or attend at one of the outreach services

Details of location, opening times and phoned numbers are available in the attached link - .

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
