Citizens Information Board

The Citizens Information Board supports the provision of independent information, advice and advocacy so that people can understand social services and reach the services they need. Its remit, inherited from Comhairle, includes helping people, particularly people with disabilities, to identify their needs and entitlements, and promoting awareness and coordination of social services.

The body was established as Comhairle on 12 June 2000 under section 6 of the Comhairle Act 2000, with that day appointed by the Comhairle Act 2000 (Establishment Day) Order 2000 (S.I. No. 167 of 2000). Section 3 of the Citizens Information Act 2007 changed its name to the Citizens Information Board.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
