I once had an interview for a very good offer of a job in S. Ireland, went to the Joke shop where I was signing, told them I was going for an interview the following week and asked would I be able to claim for travel & accommodation while I was away, yes I was told until I showed them the letter, then not only could I not have any help but I was told that I would have to sign off for the period of time I was going to be away and then make a new claim when I came back.
I was told that this was because I wouldn't be available for work if they needed to call me in.
I mentioned that Eire was part of the European Union and wasn't I therefore able to claim as we are supposed to be able to work anywhere in the Union.
I was told I would have to put a new claim in, in the country I was going to to cover my unemployment there.
A relative in S. Ireland inquired for me and I would have had to be resident over there for 6 weeks before I could claim anything, as I was only going for 3 days it wasn't much use.
