Minister for Social Protection, Heather Humphreys TD, has today officially opened the Department of Social Protection’s new Intreo Centre in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan. This is the first Intreo Centre in Co Monaghan.
The Intreo facility will serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ – building on the services that were previously provided by the Social Welfare Branch Office in Carrickmacross.
The services available from the new office include:
Commenting today, Minister Humphreys said:
“I am delighted to officially open my Department’s first Intreo Centre in Co Monaghan here in Carrickmacross.
“It has been my ambition to bring Intreo to Monaghan and I’ve delivered on that today. This represents a commitment on behalf of Government to providing vital services in rural Ireland.
“This new office will act as a ‘one-stop-shop’ - providing a comprehensive service to families and citizens living in the community.”
The new Intreo Centre is located on Ardee Rd, Magheross, Carrickmacross. The Centre builds on the services that have been provided by the Social Welfare Branch Office in the town. The former Manager of the Branch Office in Carrickmacross, Francie Treanor, retired from service last week after 44 years in the role.
Minister Humphreys added:
“I always say that our motto in Social Protection is a simple one. ‘We are here to help’.
“This new Intreo Centre will provide comprehensive social welfare services to the entire population of this town and county.
“Finally, I want to pay tribute to Francie Treanor, the former Branch Office Manager in Carrickmacross who retired last week after providing 44 years of dedicated service to the role.
“I also want to sincerely thank and pay tribute to the staff in the office for their continued dedication in providing key services to families in Carrickmacross and the surrounding areas.”
