The Money Advice and Budget Service

The Money Advice and Budget Service (MABS) provides fantastic support to anyone experiencing problems with debt, personal finances or needing advice on money management.

The main office for the area is located on Main Street in Ballymun (on the second floor beside the new Garda Station). You can contact them on 01 8620059 or by email at ballymun@mabs.ie

For more information on the services they provide, log on to http://www.mabs.ie/ or give me a call on 01 618 3280 if you have any specific queries.

MABS have also launched a great website along with Citizens Information called http://www.keepingyourhome.ie/

It's a one-stop-shop for advice on any mortgage, rent or debt problems you may be experiencing.

As you may be aware, the Programme for Government includes a committment build on the great work MABS is currently going by converting it into a strengthened Personal Debt Management Agency with strong legal powers.

This new agency will further support families who make an honest effort to deal with their debts, including non-mortgage debt, providing protection from their creditors where appropriate, so that they have time to sort out their affairs.
