10 girls in Athlone, Ireland

Today, we walked to FAS where Antonine the assistant manager welcomed us so nicely.

We had an Irish breakfast : scones with jam, biscuits with tea or coffee. Priscilla and Justine were delighted to be our waitresses.

Antonine explained to us the social welfare and the employment situation in Ireland (14,5% unemployment ) for 5 million people - salaries and working time, the cost of education ....

After we went to have a tour around the centre, we saw many different departments and we talked with the intructors and the apprentices. All of them were nice to us and we had the opportunity to echange about different jobs. They were proud to show us what they did during their training courses.
