View answerAlthough not specific to graduates with a legal background, there are opportunities for temporary placements for graduates with disabilities across Government Departments. The "Willing, Able and Mentoring" project, WAM as it is known, is coordinated by the Department of Finance and over the last 2 years, 3 people have been placed with my Department under this programme.
WAM is administered by AHEAD — the Association of Higher Education Access and Disability — and they can be contacted at PO Box 30, East Hall, UCD, Carysfort Ave., Blackrock, Co. Dublin or by email at ahead@ahead.ie.
