Censorship

When I had a meeting with my job adviser in November 2018 I noticed something on the walls in People1st in Letterkenny beside the reception desk that was not there in October and that was a lot of A4 sheet's that were put on the wall. I started reading them, they were reviews from people who had been on Jobpath giving their version of how they had gotten help with their personal advisers (job advisers) and saying how much People1st had helped them ect.

Nothing wrong with that.

The only thing was I never once seen or read one negative review, I never once read anyone say that they had their social welfare cut two weeks before Christmas, not once did I read on all the A4 sheets on the wall anything that was from people who had experienced the opposite of what was written on the walls.

It seems to be a case of you can say anything you want about Jobpath/People1st so long as it is all positive.

What if what was written on the sheets on the walls was all negative, one might say that not everyone has had a negative experience of Jobpath/People1st which is true to a certain extent, so where are all the positive things that people have to say? On the wall it seems and all the negative and bad experiences that people have had and are having of Jobpath/People1st are swept under the carpet and not allowed to be seen or heard on the walls.

That is censorship and it is biased.
