Great stuff, a friend of mine in the construction sector moved to a council role a couple of years back. Like that he took a pay cut but way better job security plus quality of life. He’s delighted with it.

Is it a denfined benefit pension? Your laughing best of lick
The only problem with the pension is they won’t have the money to pay it out by the time you retire.
39 days holidays a year, you could take on a second job

Agreed. Also, if you love not working, you’ll never have to work a day in your life. Cc @Thomas_Brady

So you think they’ll just stop paying it ?
We can always just tax private sector workers more.

Sounds like the most likey scenario that will be put forward 
In all seriousness there will be a point in the next 10 years where a goverment will have to make the decision to move public sector employees to a DC pension. Years of talks to settle on new enterants will be put on the scheme with less benefits etc. At the current rate it make break the country in a few decades
Raise the retirement age to 75.
Remove state pension
Opening myself up to all sorts here, but anyway, I might get some pointers in the right direction.
I am looking to recruit 2 or 3 Irish guys/women in the 25-35 age bracket for site engineer/project engineer/estimator roles. I will probably hold interviews in Dublin mid-late September, but where would be the best place to advertise these interviews? Is Jobs.ie the best option or what else is available? Any of those recruitment/jobs exhibitions coming up in the next 2 months?
Why the age profile?
Indeed.ie would get a lot of views I’d say

Why do you think?
Generally, not after graduates because they’re two a penny here.
On the other end, there are some restrictions on a particular visa pathway for over 30’s. Obviously, i’m not advertising this but more i’m thinking where do 25-35 year olds look when they’re job hunting/pondering life.
