Problems we can help you with
We can offer you help or advice with problems in the following areas:
- Housing and tenancy problems
- Paying rent or rent arrears
- Child and family matters
- Marital and domestic issues
- Addiction
- Young people and education
- Neighbourhood and community issues
- Needs of older people
- Vulnerable and reclusive people

All our services are confidential and private.
If we find that we cannot help you ourselves, we will put you in contact with someone who can, e.g. the Health Service Executive, money advice services, etc. For example, we have no statutory responsibility for child protection and cannot help to pay private debts.
