For 20 of those years, I worked in a department at a major hospital in Dublin.In 2017, my contract stated that I had to retire at 65, but I wanted to stay on for a further year.
I never had to go through anything like this before in my life. They ask you what type of work you want, and I told them that I would look for anything, so they put me down for shop work. Shortly after, the dole office sent me to workshops and I had to go around all the desks to say I was interested in various types of jobs.
