    What can you do if you are unemployed but your nearest welfare office is 70km away and you have no transport to get there?

    I think untill a few years ago people in remote areas could apply for job seekers by post and someone from the office would then visit them at home, but now that they have the 1984 system of photographing people i doubt that's possible anymore.

    Call them and ask them.

    Of course, they might ask you what would you do if you were offered a job in the same town as the Dole office - would you turn it or any other interview or job offer down because you have no transport?

    You will have to attend at the SW office to make your claim but your distance from the SW office and PO would be facilitated once claim comes through, possibly with very infrequent signing on dates and suitable payment arrangements.

    I would imagine that there are villages in Donegal, West Cork, Connemara that would be that far away from the nearest social protection office.
