A Dublin Company Is Now Giving Employees Loans So They Can Afford Rent

An accounting firm in Dublin, EY, has told The Irish Independent that they will be providing interest-free loans on flexible terms in order to help out graduate trainees with renting in Dublin.

“For the first time, we have offered all graduate recruits interest-free loans to get them over the hurdle of getting set up in Dublin.”
