View answerThe Citizens Information Board (CIB), under the aegis of my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the Citizens Information Service (CIS). CIB provides funding and support to eight regional CIS companies, including North Leinster CIS. Each of these companies is overseen and governed by a Board of Directors.
I have therefore forwarded your correspondence to CIB for its attention and I am informed that there are current legal proceedings in place in relation to this case. CIB is therefore unable to address the matters outlined in your correspondence, while these legal proceedings are ongoing.
