    Hi I'm living in Blackrock and am looking to apply for state benefits, where is the nearest office? Is there one in Blackrock or would I go to Dun Laoirghre?

    Dún Laoghaire is the nearest official office anyway, but you might be able to pick up forms or information in the Post Office in Frascati shopping centre. Probably better off popping down to Dún Laoghaire though.

    Nice one thanks. Any idea where it's located and what the opening hours are?

    Is there any time I should avoid in which it will be very busy?

    It's down the Monkstown end of the town on Cumberland Street near IADT.

    No idea tbh, though I'd imagine lunchtime wouldn't be the best time as they might have less staff around.

    There are regularly queues around the corner. It is the one where the RTE stock footage of 'long dole queues' was filmed at. Perhaps some of the regulars can tell you which days/times are quietest.

    I think after lunch may be less of a queue. The longes queues I have witnessed there were around the 9-10am mark on various days.

    Here the address and opening hours
    Social Welfare office Dun Laoghaire

    The really long queues are on the signing on days i.e. when people that are already on dole have to sign that they still are. But they use a diffent entrance and hatch than those that apply or query something.
    As you want to apply you're not affected by the long queue but I'd say you still should have some time on your hands.
