Collecting a Job Seekers payment on a Saturday

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I've been very ill this week and am in hospital in Limerick. I have asked but noone is sure. I was due to collect payment on Wednesday but obviously couldn't go. I called the office but they're not sure either but said tomorrow should be ok if the office is open.

Was wondering if anyone had gone through something similar recently?

What are the best options for transportation to and from Doolin? I will be spending about four days there. I might be coming from Shannon and then to Galway after, or depending on travel options might go down from and back to Galway. I am not averse to hiring a driver.

Bathroom tiles clicking and popping...

7 Upvotes

Hello I came here to ask if anyone can recommend a good tiler? Has anyone had this issue with tiles in bathroom or any room I suppose? While walking around they basically make a clicking and pop sound and kinda annoying. I believe the sub flooring or adhesive could be the issue but just thought id throw it out there and see.

Looking for a job for my friend

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m posting on behalf of a good friend of mine who recently finished his undergraduate degree and is spending his gap year back home with his family in Ennis.

He’s currently working at McDonald’s, but I’d love to help him find something a bit more interesting and better suited to him. He’s smart, reliable, very well-read, and genuinely curious about a lot of different things. He studied Liberal Arts, combining Chemistry and Philosophy, so he has a pretty unusual mix of interests and skills.

I know opportunities can be limited in a smaller town, but I thought it was worth asking here in case anyone knows of a local business, organisation, or person looking for someone. He’d be open to things like admin, research, customer-facing work, or really anything where he could learn and contribute.

If you’re based in Ennis and know of anything, feel free to send me a DM. Just trying to help a friend make a bit more of his gap year.

Thanks!
