I suppose so.

It's kinda like them telling him to take another job on the other side of the world or fcuk off I suppose.

What if the HSE decided to send letters out to cancer patients telling them the health service in Canada is free?

I don't think the two are comparable really - one is literally a matter of life and death.
Can't understand the guy's "annoyance" - as someone said, it's good to let him know of his options in a broader sense. Seems a fairly petty thing to get annoyed by.
Given the amount of "Ireland is SUCH a hell-hole, I am SO out of here" whinging, they're obviously catering to a lot of people.

It is a bit silly to get outraged over the letter, however I would imagain someone with construction qualifications know full well where in the world there are jobs in construction and if they had been considering going to Canada they would have., so fas are advertising job in Canada that with the inerweb and linkedin he would know about anyway. I don't think social welfare can do every thing for everyone, but why waste there time telling some one something they know all ready.

That it is, That,s one of the things i was thinking about when looking it up, would i have the balls for it, but at the same time if you train up properly and keep your head together maybe its not so bad

tell that guy to quit whining.. the basic welfare cheque in Canada is $500 per month in most states...

AND you have to pay it back when you start working again, if you haven't been paying unemployment insurance for a certain length of time up to when you become redundant.

Pick the number out of your hole, or do you have a link from a reputable source?

"either stay here where's the no jobs or kindly piss off so we can say you're not part of the unemployment listings"?

On this note; like the nurses, we train them up, and ship them off :mad:

Outrage over job company finding people jobs. Shocker.

You living under a rock?.It was only last week that the papers were telling us that 20% of people on the dole are Foreigners.

20% of at least 400,000 tells me minimum 80,000.

Are we talking about the f**king Sun here, or some other tabloid sh|t stirring bullsh|t newspaper?

Perhaps it's a bit much pushing Canada, but yes people should be persuaded to emigrate to any EU country that will give them work. Our grandparents migrated from field to tow, our parents from town to city, now it's this generation's turn to migrate from country to country. You can not expect a job to fall on your lap, go out and seek employment and stop being a sponge on society.

This Fas worker is recommending to the man on unemployment that he should spend years training and serious money training for deep sea work, and then leave for Asia, assuming that their construction bubble hasn't burst by then.

Or he could have pointed out that say... Ward Automation in Sligo find it hard going to attract qualified people due purely to their location but have a good business and good employee retention. (I'm not associated nor have any business with this company)

It would be highly useful if Fas/Solas would collect and provide the information about the skills that are in demand about the country in a format that we could use to make decisions, rather than drip feeding job listings filtered by location or job title.

A weekly updated CSV text file would be more usable for decision making than their website and getting an idea of trends.

And as an added benefit maybe we could see how many of their Fas courses provide the matching skills.

I am in two minds about this, my husbands works in London because there are no jobs in what he dose here, however I don't think someone should be forced to do that.

On the other had there is unlikely to be jobs for someone with a masters in construction management here but it would be a different story in London( no all that fare away for example my husband comes home every weekend), so why should you stay here on social welfare. I don't know what the answer is.

Nobody is being forced to do anything they don't want to do. Welfare are just doing their job and pointing out jobs that they have been informed about that MAY be of interest to the unemployed. It is pointed out in the letter that failure to respond to these vacancies will NOT affect their claim. FAS have always have had these vacancies on their website. Welfare are just being proactive.

Anything wrong with this.
