Wouldn't you know Sam , too good to be true. I showed up in Swords and got to the counter. Despite there being a sign on the window for new applications he told me "No, not here" I pointed out the sign and said I had been talking to guy in this office this morning who told me they were taking new applications and to come on in. So I asked where should I go and he said Nrt Cumberland St. I reminded him of my phone call and what I'd been told and he said "Wasn't me" , I asked if he could check with one of the other guys and he said he was the only one there all day. He said they had been taking a few new applicants but it stopped this morning. I asked him why he told me to come in then. Again he said it wasn't him and just shrugged his shoulders at me.
To say I was red in the face leaving would be a masterpiece of an understatement.
I phoned the central 1890 no. when I got outside. First I was told I should go to Coolock, then Finglas , then Swords by 3 different operators........
P.s. I know I said Wednesday in my initial mail but I made a subsequent call and was told it was today.....hence my trip
I give up, the staff don't even have a clue.
North Cumberland St in the morning for me
