    Hi,
    I am in 3rd year, going into Transition Year in a couple of weeks. My class recently had an information evening about TY and the TY Coordinator said that we should start ringing around now because places will go quickly! I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas for me about places around Dublin please!!?? (Specifically Dublin 13!)
    Thanks! :-)

    Try to stick to fairly low danger areas of business, office admin or sales. There's hotels, shopping centres, super markets etc. If you have a parent or relation working in similar businesses have a word with them about possible placement, lots of companies will allow it.
