Fianna Fáil Senator Mark Daly and abuse survivor John Allen were physically barred from attending the event [at the Convention Centre]. Clearly stressed, and as he grappled with two bouncers, Mr Daly said he wasn’t being admitted because he and Mr Allen wanted to distribute a leaflet (above).

This is the entire  Irish Times report on an independent review of the JobBridge scheme to be published today.

59% of JobBridge applicants left their placements early, according to the independent review.

Fifty nine per cent

6,608 of the 11,200 JobBridgers to date.
