Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Are they like FAS jobs and jobbridge jobs?Don't they rob what could be a paid job from the community.
I've seen companies advertising for freebie community workers as opposed to forking out for paid workers.
Its a jobs scam i would like to see be closed down,robbing jobs from the most vunerable is a most shameful act.
Hi Rob,
These are not Job Bridge or internships positions, these are real jobs done that are done by qualified workers.
They do a huge range of work in local communities, in 2011 LDCs helped over 98,000 jobseekers, LEADER helped create 634 full-time jobs and 1,644 enterprises were assisted.
They also do a lot of work tackling poverty and supporting local communities tackle the problems they face.
http://changingireland.ie/ is a good resource to see what's going on in the sector.

As a worker who has a masters level professional qualification in this area , i feel that Big Phil is undervaluing the work and skills that are proven in Local Development Companies. Many of my colleagues are similarly qualified and our work is not something that can be done be the nearest do gooder .Big Phill has LIED to us about alignment , he never had any intention of aligning the local development companies and staff who have taken these insecure and low paid jobs to help the disadvantaged when others were on the celtic tigers back. Big Phil was only aligning the funding not the work and now he has left many of us awake at night worrying how we will pay our bills and feed our families because he wont meet with us or discuss us with our unions Suddenly we are a private company and he feels no responsibility .Its a shame among many shames , What happens to the people in the communities who are marginalised ? Who cares about them ? this is all about getting his hands on Leader money so he can try and fill the holes in local authorities , will someone not tell him that it cant be used for the pot holes.
