Tús –

This the new government initiative to provide one year's training and work experience for those unemployed.
The candidates are chosen at random from the live register and placed in areas of work in the community for which they either have some experience or an aptitude in a particular area of work that might be available.

Two participants have begun work at Kilcommon cemetery & St Paul's Church, Cahir.

Each will work 19 1/2 hours per week for one year. An application has been made for a participant for Tubrid churchyard, which is in dire need of being cleaned up and having the headstones transcribed onto our database. There is also a possibility of getting some help with Tullaghmeelan church & churchyard.
