Constructive? No.

Pointless? Yes.

Either post something useful or don't post at all. Last warning.

Almost every County/City Enterprise Board in Ireland has this. Here's some links, google your county/city if not listed.

Not nearly as good or nearly as organised. The whole system on that site I posted is cheaper, more efficient and just better organised.

I've also heard conflicting reports that mentoring is free to some and not to others.

I live in South Dublin so my local enterprise board i.e. http://www.dlrceb.ie/OnetoOne_Business_Mentoring_for_MicroEnterprises/Default.130.html

They charge €75 PER Meeting.

That site I posted; you pay 100 NZD which is about 45 Euro and you get free mentoring for the next 2 years. And they have it set up in such a way so you eliminate the dreamers because you need to have been operating for 6 months.

That's a real service. We don't have that here.

None of this crap either:
