284. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason that a citizens information office (details supplied) is closed to the public; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15565/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Citizens Information Board (CIB), is a statutory independent body as set out in the Comhairle Act 2010 which operates under the aegis of my Department. CIB provides funding to 21 companies in order to deliver services on its behalf. This includes eight CIS companies that operate a national network of Citizens Information Centres, including North Leinster CIS which encompasses Co. Longford.
The Longford Citizen Information Centre office had to close earlier this month for a short period due to staff availability and arrangements were put in place so that any enquiries or information requests could be dealt with by phone or email. The office will reopen to the public again on Monday 28th of March.
