- Citizens Information (formerly OASIS)
http://www.citizensinformation.ie/
Citizens Information website provides comprehensive information on all
aspects of Public Services and entitlements for citizens in Ireland. www.citizensinformation.ie
is based on a personal approach to the presentation and delivery of
information on public services and the social and civil rights of
everyone in Ireland. It gathers information from various government
departments and agencies, and make sure that you have all the
information you need, presented in an easy-to-understand way. The site
has been specially designed around the needs of users for those times
in life when you need information about your rights and how to apply
for State services in Ireland. It was developed, and is maintained by

website. It is an Irish e-government initiative, and was originally
established under the Government’s first action plan for the
Information Society.
