www.halfaloaf.ie


was set up in June 09 and is a social and networking forum primarily for people who are unemployed but it is open to everyone and we encourage everyone to join.
The site has four main aims:



  • Help end the Social Isolation Unemployed people feel
  • Encourage business ideas and networking.
  • Be an outlet for the unemployed.
  • Help get people back into mainstream of society
 
Working for Work, published by the INOU, is very useful publication

Online edition here [broken link removed] or they run a free information line on 01 856 0088

They will also send any unemployed person a hard copy of the publication for free.
 
I have just applied for Job seekers allowance, but because I am living with my boyfriend he has to be means tested as well for me to receive my benefits. Is there anyway of getting around this?
