The car Joaquin and Pablo had to sleep in one weekend when they couldn't get a hostel bed. THIS MONTH, THE government held a recruitment event in Spain – streamed online – to promote over 1,200 “hard to fill” vacancies in Ireland to eager jobseekers.
Over 15,000 Spaniards tuned in to hear about Ireland’s competitive minimum wage, an estimated 22,000 jobs going in the country’s hospitality sector, and the opportunity to improve their English abroad. Cummins also said that front of house staff would pay “no tax” on cash tips, and that his organisation had good relationships with English language schools for those who may struggle.
There are 33 rooms available to rent in shared households in Cork city at present and 25 properties for rent. The DSP says that EURES Ireland works closely with Irish employers to assist with the recruitment of European workers for “hard to fill vacancies”. The department did not clarify how many workers get back in touch with the EURES service after moving to Ireland who are struggling to secure long-term accommodation, but it did state that they provide post-recruitment support, and that any queries on housing are passed on to local authorities.
Another, Pablo Alias, got scammed out of €800 on arrival, having paid a deposit on a house before he arrived, not knowing that the tenants there had already been given an eviction notice. Joaquin Acevedo from Chile paid €3,000 upfront for an English language course in Cork. He says the language school gave him no warning about how hard it would be to find a room to rent when he got here.“One weekend, I spent the night in a car with four of the guys who couldn’t get a hostel bed, sometimes I sleep on someone’s couch as well when the hostel is full,” Joaquin said.
Adrian McGarry is the owner of the Bru Bar & Hostel in Cork city, where many workers live while trying to find something more long-term. The bar worker believes that he is one of “the lucky ones,” because he has found a single room he can rent for €850 for a couple of months starting in December. Giovanna Sermandes works at the Leevin Hostel Mountjoy, where she says non-national workers are living “the whole time”.
Gary Mullen is the co-founder of Prosperity recruitment, an expanding company with an office in Dublin, and a recently opened office in Barcelona. He says he takes informing applicants on the housing situation in Ireland seriously.
That adriancummins lad is a lying piece of crap, would sell his grandmother to benefit himself, horrible nasty piece of work
Why are we bringing Spanish over as minimum wage workers? There plenty of lads in hotels and office blocks eager for work ? irelandsfull
Basically looking for cheap hospitality labour.
Seems unfair to advertise jobs that can't be taken because of the housing crisis.
You have got to be joking.
