Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Office of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman's staff examine complaints about the administrative actions of Government Departments, the Health Service Executive, local authorities and An Post.

On this website we explain what we do and how we do it. You can make a complaint on-line  if you wish. We also provide useful links to other complaint handling bodies which may be able to assist you.

Our aim is to make this website as user-friendly and as accessible as possible so if you have any problems getting around the site or if you have any suggestions about possible improvements please contact us.
