    are there any groups that can offer solid advice on training, employment and social groups in Dublin? I've only heard of the IWA (through the blue badge scheme) but not sure if they can help in other ways. As im an amputee with a neurological condition, getting out and meeting people is difficult (for me anyway). Ive been unemployed for a couple years now too and re-entering the workforce is obviously tough right now even if you're able-bodied.

    Might be worth finding your local supported employment service - contact http://www.iase.ie/ and they'll point you in the right direction.

    What other organisations are you linked in with Zedsead, as they may have a supported employment officer?

    I would really reccomend employability as well, http://www.employability.ie/

    Have you tried National Learning Network? They run loads of different courses and help with getting you into a job or another course at the end.

    National learning network and maybe FAS might be worth checking out.
