Monday, 5th March 2012

Labour Party TD for Dublin North Central Aodhán Ó Ríordáin will this afternoon facilitate a second Jobs Roadshow* in order to address the problem of unemployment in his constituency.

This follows on from the Roadshow Deputy Ó Ríordáin hosted in Donnycarney last week where a broad coalition of organisations were on hand to supply information regarding unemployment assistance, educational guidance, enterprise supports, CV and interview advice and internship and placement opportunities.

Deputy Ó Ríordáin stated: “Excellent local services are available for the unemployed and it is essential that local representatives show leadership in connecting people with the agencies that can assist in getting people back into the workforce ."

“These Roadshows are a proactive measure to try and address the problem of unemployment which has blighted the constituency of Dublin North Central. Last week, approximately one hundred people attended our first Jobs Roadshow in Donnycarney and availed of the abundance of information on display."

"Today's Roadshow will be attended by representatives from Northside Partnership, Citizens Information, JobBridge
National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA), Money & Budgeting Advice Service (MABS), Irish National Organisation for the Unemployed (INOU) and Volunteer Ireland."

“It was extremely reassuring to see so many people avail of the information provided and I look forward to facilitating the second Roadshow this afternoon in Kilmore West."
