Oasis is one of a number of related measures initiated by government to reform the Irish Public Service. These measures include the Reach Project which will develop the infrastructure to enable on-line transactions between the public and the public service.
Oasis is frontline information on public services for use by the general public.
In time, the website will also act as a portal or gateway to services. There are substantial information needs and service needs for the individual that can span a range of organisations and be quite complicated. Oasis presents the information people need, for particular events in their lives, in the one place regardless of the number of agencies involved. Information on Oasis is presented in both English and Irish. A limited amount of information is available in French.
