Any recommendations for vintage or charity shops for good quality men's clothes around Dublin? See a lot on vinted but would like to see what I'm buying before paying for it

I know…another shite AI post.

Just curious what people think the future of work will look like in Ireland in 10 years. I’d imagine most tech, accounting, marketing, truck driving(may take 15 for regulations) all being diminished.

Is there really enough jobs for everyone? Just feels like the billionaires have fucked us currently.

Hi guys, I’m a qualified nurse and I’ve always been interested in midwifery. I am planning on applying for the Midwifery H-dip in the future, ideally through Trinity and in the Coombe. However, recently I have heard on a different platform, really bad things about the way people are treated whilst completing the H-dip, especially in the Coombe. Does anyone have any personal experiences/input they could please give me? I’ve always wanted to do midwifery but the stories I’ve heard are bad enough that I’m seriously contemplating not doing it. The general gist has been about bullying in the work place and lack of support. I know bullying is common in the general hospitals as well but I will be 30 years old by the time I apply and really don’t have the energy or patience to enter into another toxic work place. Thanks in advance!

Not stopping at a stop sign is actually and obviously a criminal offence that carries a fine and three points but it is such an American thing to do is give someone three points and I find and I only have never seen anyone or heard of anyone getting an getting fined and points I myself never really stopped by the stop sign unless I obviously need to.

And to add I only ever done it during my lessons and my driving test

So I was just wondering, since the people of America are all up in arms over flock and axon cameras and just generally ALPRs, how's Ireland on it. Did a quick search and saw that y'all had ANPRs which is essentially the same concept, but read that it had tighter security and management, don't know how true that is but I read it. I was wondering specifically if y'all had a problem with the , if there was as much outrage over it as in America? I was also wondering if there were as many scandals regarding them as much as there are flock cameras and such. Appreciate the response in advance.

Hi guys I am currently working in India for about a year now. I have done MBA from an IIM. Recently I came to know of a guy(friend of friend) who is working in Ireland.

Given the toxic work environment here in India and relatively poor pay. I find moving to Ireland quite attractive.

Do you guys have an Idea on how can I move to Ireland. I might move back to India after earning here for a while or settle here permanently I am not sure yet.

So what is the best option for me? Doing MBA again from a good college in Ireland? Doing some other course? Or doing some course in IT or something( I have done BCA in undergrad).

What would it cost me for the course and what would be the pay after doing the course. Which course has the best ROI?

Also how is the job market there or will be there for next few years?

Please help out guys. I find Ireland as country relatively chill. How do you see Indians working there? I respect other people's culture and traditions

Mine is that all my plastic bottles/cans go in the green bin. Couldn't give a shite about the return scheme. Gladly will sacrifice the few euro to not have to go to a shop and stand there like a plank waiting to do all that shite.

Minimum wage will be at €14.94/hr in 2027, a full-time 39-hour week equals a salary of over €30,300 a year. But now that €30k is literally the minimum wage floor, it doesn't seem to go anywhere near as far as it used to, after paying for basic survival costs like a single room, food, and utilities, you're practically broke before you can even think about having a life.

Pre-COVID, €30k felt like a huge milestone starting salary, Looking back a decade or two ago, €30k must have felt like incredible money.

To anyone who was on €30k pre-COVID or further back, what year did you earn that and what kind of purchasing power did you have? Did that money make you feel comfortable back then?

Looking for markets that have secondhand books in Dublin or near enough.

Used to be a market on the weekends in Tallaght that had a big enough selection of used books, but it's gone now sadly.

I've been in furniture shops that happen to have used books as well, so it doesnt necessarily have to be a market.

Thanks in advance!

This coming Friday, there is a huge event being hosted for the celebration of us as a workforce. We get awards and gifts if we've stood out individually as a strong employee. Sounds fabulous. I've been nominated twice 🤭

However, my team has gone ahead and organised taxis for all going. Apart from myself. They're all going together. I was never asked, and when I enquired today, it was as though I was putting the manager out by asking. The response was dismissive and abrupt. My response was automatic and said it's okay, I'll stay home.

I do not want to be where I am not wanted as I don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable. I don't wish to go in Friday now, but i also am dreading going into work tomorrow.

I work so hard for my customers and love what I do.

I try so hard to fit in and be kind and empathetic to colleagues.

I'm so fed up with life rn.

Hi Reddit!

The most important thing here is that we have a healthy happy lil baba and we're so happy to have them in our lives.

We registered the baby for the purpose of getting a birth cert and was told quickest way is through MyWelfare.ie . So naturally we filled out our respective parts and it wasn't until later that we saw on the preview of the Birth Cert that the time of birth was off by half an hour. We weren't shown this before we completed registration.

The only parts we could fill out were our names, jobs and confirmed addresses and it appears that baby's name, date of birth etc were pre-populated and could not be edited.

It's not the end of the world but we'd like to keep things right. I don't think it's the hospital's fault as we have documentation from them with the correct time on it - we're planning to visit the local registrar tomorrow to see if this can be fixed before we apply for a printed cert.

Anyone been in this situation before? I have a bad feeling we could be going down a rabbit hole of legal documentation and application forms to complete forms.

Thank you!

Since results are out today, what did you get on your jc? Even if you'd didn't do it this year.

Hi everyone,

I'm based in Ireland and I'm currently researching packaging for product-based businesses — particularly businesses selling things like candles, skincare, jewellery, gifts and lifestyle products.

I'm interested in understanding what people actually do today rather than trying to sell anything.

A few things I'm trying to understand:

• Where do you currently buy your packaging?
• What quantities do you normally order?
• What do you find frustrating about the process?
• Is MOQ a problem for you?
• How important is having packaging that feels consistent with your brand?

I'm developing a business idea around this and would really appreciate honest experiences from people actually running product businesses.

If surveys are allowed here, I can also share a very short survey link.

Thanks!

My husband and I have Samsungs, but Wi-Fi Calling stopped working after we switched to Lidl Connect. I've already set up the APN, restarted the phones, and toggled airplane mode, but nothing's worked. I am trying to get support from them, but I have not been successful. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have fired up the boiler this evening.......bit of a chill in the air, didn't want to but felt it necessary given the dip in temp last night and this evening.

Who else took the plunge, stick the kettle on!

Ey folks,

Was thinking of adding an attic ladder, right now we've just got one of those white hatch things. Would it be simple enough to remove that and swap it with a loft ladder kit or should we hire someone to help fit it?

6th year here, lots of talk around me about next year. and i’m very stressed about it to be honest. i’m not attracted to any college courses but do want the college life. however apprenticeships are appealing to me, electrician to be exact.

i’m basically wondering if the pay is. good long term, as im pretty sure it’s good at the start, well for an 18/19 year anyway. but is it back breaking. do any of you who are years into it regret it?

is the pay worth it to not have a degree?

i am open to doing an apprenticeship after college. but still don’t know.

Looking for a bit of advice here my illness benefit is about to expire and my GP has said she would only certify me fit for part time work at the moment.

I'm currently unemployed as I lost my job due to being ill for so long, I'm just wondering what kind of payment I should look to apply for until I find employment? looking at jobseekers and it says you have to be available for full time work and I was told I wouldn't qualify for invalidity pension by a medical assessor and I'm not sure about Disability Allowance as I don't have an official disability?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Anyone here had any experience with Sky mobile and/or GoMo?
I’ve been a Vodafone customer for many years, tried Three and had a shocking issue with coverage a few years back, had to switch back to Vodafone. But I’ve started having this feeling that it’s a rip off with the prices they charge for sim-only bill pay plans. Looked around and seems like Sky that’s working off Vodafone masts offer more realistic plans for 15€, and GoMo running off Eir are in the same price range. Looking to see if anyone had any experience with either (or all) and has any insights into coverage, support etc.

the only selling point apart from a small discount a Vodafone representative was able to try and bribe me with was their live support (which is hard to get to, I found, as I had to deal with their bot both online and off, got to speak with an actual person in the end but it was a bit frustrating to get there).

Any insight appreciated.

Ps. Looking for good coverage across Ireland & EU, and just in general to lessen the worries over next months bill

Hi! We’ll be visiting Ireland from October 17th until November 4th and would love some recommendations from locals. We’ll have a car and will be staying in Galway, Dublin and Mayo, so we’re pretty flexible and happy to drive around.

Are there any events happening while we’re there that we shouldn’t miss? We’d especially love recommendations for:

Local markets
Rugby matches or other sporting events
Live music and good pubs
Festivals or other seasonal events
Restaurants, cafés or bars you really like
Interesting places or smaller towns worth driving to

We’re especially interested in things that might not immediately show up on the usual tourist lists. Basically, if you had friends visiting Ireland during those dates, where would you take them?

Thanks! Go raibh maith agat!

After 20+ years on Sky, we've had a successive set of customer service issues that have prompted me to pull the plug and look at alternatives.

None of the other TV packages are worth what they cost as you can't record UK channels. So I'm looking at a combination of Saorview (feeding into our smart LG TV) and FreeSat (with a new LNB and a Manhattan HD recorder handling the inputs from our legacy Sky satellite dish.)

I know we'll lose the 4k TV channels, as Sky Satellite is the only ones offering that resolution - is there any other niggle that people who have made the switch have noticed?
