Yes they do,they run 2 variations of the scheme

back to work enterprise allowance - if you're entitled to jsa or other qualifying payment and been on it a year you can get it - lasts 2 years - 1st year 100 percent of your dole and second 75 percent

short term enterprise allowance - you can go on it immediately i believe if you're on jsb - lasts as long as your jsb does

you can also avail of technical and training funding,it's a grant of up to 1000 euro,you dont have entitlement to it but if they've got it you'll get it

I asked about this about 6months ago and they said they dont do this anymore in my local dole office (due to lack of funds)...strange.
