Business Information Centre

The Business Information Centre has a book display on What's new in the EU. I believe that it is well worth seeing (not only because I was partly involved in collating it) but because it coincides with the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU, it promotes the services we provide here and has booklets and handouts on offer, including European Union maps, all right up-to-date and free of charge to take with you.    Read more »

What are you entitled to?  Are you unemployed? What courses may assist you? If any of these questions rouse your interest please read on.

The Business Information Centre will host a 2-hour session in the Central Library where a representative from the INOU (Irish National Organisation of the Unemployed) will be in attendance.  He will answer any short queries of a general nature on site, and if you have more personal queries, he will arrange a private meeting at base for these.

This session will be held on Tuesday, 19th February, from 2.30pm - 4.30pm, and all are welcome. As ever it is free to attend!
