The Ombudsman of Ireland is calling on locals in Cavan and Monaghan to contact his office if they would like to make a complaint about a public body.<\/p>\n
His office examine grievances from people who believe they’ve been treated unfairly or experienced administrative delays by public service providers.<\/p>\n
Before contacting the Ombudsman, people should first try and resolve their complaint with the public body.<\/p>\n
If they remain unhappy with the outcome, they can bring their complaint to the office of the Ombudsman.<\/p>\n
If the Ombudsman receives a complaint he can investigate it, attempt to resolve it or launch a formal investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
Ger Deering says that while there’s been a rise nationally in complaints lodged against local authorities over the past year, the same trend has not been seen in Cavan and Monaghan.<\/p>\n
He says that many complaints against local authorities deal with issues people are having obtaining housing.<\/p>\n
Mr. Deering says it’s important people are aware they can turn to his office for help, claiming some don’t realise they’re entitled to support if they’re experiencing an issue with a public body.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Northern Sound, Mr. Deering said he would encourage anyone in the local area who’s been treated unfairly by a public service provider to contact his office<\/p>\n
