Hireland2011

Hireland is an initiative brought to you not by the government or any lobby group, but by ordinary people who realise we all need to do things for ourselves. We need to Kickstart Ireland. So Hireland is asking Irish Buinesses to think differently -- and to pledge a short or long term job now.

It all started on a wet night last February 24th by a group of friends sitting around a kitchen devastated to be discussing yet another set of friends facing emigration due to unemployment. We decided the time had come to stop waiting on a solution from the government and to take action ourselves. We have been working on it since and the momentum has snowballed with the help of an incredible team of volunteers.
