    No one seemed to no anything about the Microsoft work experience so any information on any Irish companies that work with computers. Especially anything to do with programming. I know that I want to do SOMETHING with computers but I just can't find anything that suits :confused:. Thanks in advance!

    It depends, where in Ireland do you live? If you live near a college or IT inquire about seeing if they have TY type programmes. I know the larger Universities do but I live near none so I have no information on that, sorry.

    Are you interested in hardware sector? You could work in a repair shop which is what I did for one week and I am now working there for the summer.

    One week I went to a local Games Developement and developed a simple Javascript game in a HTML5 games engine. Which was both fun and challenging and learnt how to work in an office situation and also how to think like a programmer

    You could look here to see if any are in your area!

    If you live in the Tipperary area I could TRY and help you, emphasis on the try :pac:

    You're also from Dublin. Why would I sent details about small companies and shops two hours away? Dublin is massive and has an abundance of repair shops and other companies. Here's a list of Game Developers in Ireland
