    A friend of mine who lives in Kildare got a 6months part-time contract to cover maternity leave. Girl, she was filling space for is coming back from maternity leave sooner than she supposed to do. Friend of mine was asked to commute to Dundrum as there will be no hours for her in Kildare. She is not happy with that option as she doesnt drive and its is very difficult to commute to Dundrum from Kildare (also money wise). She is only on part-time contract but she agreed to commute to Dublin but somwhere close to City Centre. Thing is this company has a lot of shops and there shouldnt be a problem to find space in other place but they said not and demand from her to commute to Dundrum.
    Peronally I would not commute anywhere if cost are almost same as my wages but she is desparate for work. I feel sorry for her and wants to know if there is any way we can help her with this issue.
    What do you think?

    Its a messy one alright. Train from Kildare to Heuston then Luas to Abbey st and then walk/bus over to Stephen green and Luas again.

    Is there a car pooling website she could use to advertise her situation?

    Whereabout in Kildare is she? If she's near maynooth line either go:

    - maynooth to blackrock, then 17 bus

    Or

    - maynooth to pearse, then 44/48a bus


    If she's Kildare line then

    - Kildare to heuston, 145 to Stephens green, then luas

    Why is the person coming back before her mat leave is up? Was your friend contracted to this location to cover this mat leave... get her to check her contract.
