    I'm sure the gardi do take people but spaces are limited. I don't know about the HSE, but I suppose if you know someone from the HSE then I think you could do experince there, same applies to Matter Hospital in Dublin.

    Yes, most Garda stations take students, however you will need to book well in advance. A busier station might be better as there may be more to do and see. Best of luck.

    Loads of paramedics do training courses where they go and teach first aid etc. Maybe you could try and get experience with them? I'll try and find out more for you.

    Do something that you can gain from. I worked in a premium supermarket in Dublin as I love food. What I learnt in those 5 days, is retail is ****ing horrible. No one enjoys working for €8,65 an hour and dealing with repetitive tasks. Its one of the reasons why I worked so hard( and repeated my LC) to get a course I know would pay well and ensure I dont end up working in a shop and hating it for the rest of my life.

    I know a girl who got a job in BT Dublin as she did work experience in an well known shop for a week. Do something that you will gain from and not because " its around the corner from me"
