Jobbridge.

It’s coming to get you.

…a report by the Department of Social Protection recommends extending the scheme to participants with no previous social welfare entitlement.
As a result, these interns would not receive any payment from the State.
…In a statement, a spokeswoman for Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton (above) said the kind of people who might be out of work and not eligible for social assistance could be someone who was previously self-employed.
In addition, a person could be unemployed but not eligible for welfare because they are under 25 and living at home, or because of the means of their spouse.

View Dereliction – master in a larger map

Put together by @eoinomahony, @janeruffino, @strongthomas, @Neidi and @CiaranStaunton, the above map contains the locations, pictures and descriptions of various derelict building around Dublin. There’s a heavy skew towards the northside.

Anyone feel like doing a similar map of Cork, Galway or Limerick?
