Citizens Information Services
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-13
============================================================

Cathal Berry (IND), Kildare South

I thank the Minister for her response. I agree entirely that it is an excellent service. It is independent, valued and, crucially, it is accessible. I use it myself. I refer many constituents to the service and I presume every Deputy in the House does the same. I have the Newbridge office on speed dial if I want to run something by it on a complex case. I take the point on the importance of the autonomy of the service. There was a press release about five weeks ago from the board in which it mentioned it would set up an independent review. Do we know anything about this independent review? Who is running it? When will it be started and finished? Does the Minister have any information to enlighten us?
