Location of the Irish version of Job Centre plus in Cork?

Question

Hey,

I'm about to move to Cork soon to start work for an IT company over there, my partner is coming with me and leaving his job behind in the UK to start a new life with me.

But although he is applying to work in the country he has not heard back from any of the company's there yet. Its a matter of time but while we're waiting and surviving on just my wage it would be nice if we had that little extra income to survive from an Irish version of Job seekers allowance.

I've done my research and know there is a program like this in Ireland and that my partner would be entitled to claim, but I have no idea where the place is in Cork.

Can anyone provide me with an address or telephone number to make life a bit easier when we get there?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Fás is the Irish version. Check out their website and search for the Fás offices in Cork.

If you have been on benifits for a set time... i think 6 months then you can claim it in any EU country...... And the uk government job center plus also covers ireland if you extend the search.... He and u can do it all from the net online.
