97. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the criteria used by the Citizens Information Board to select a design team to recommend new management structures for Money Advice and Budgeting Service, MABS, and Citizens Information Services, CIS; the reason the existing voluntary companies, or their representative bodies which have developed and managed these services locally are not consulted; the cost of the inconclusive consultants report commissioned by CIB on proposed new structures; and the reason it is necessary to abandon the local management structures when these have proven to have worked so well for so many years at no cost to the Exchequer to be replaced by regional or national structures which will be less cost-effective and will be removed from the local knowledge base so vital to the success of these services.
