    Hi,

    I live in N Wales and I was looking at the irishjobs.ie job board yesterday.

    There seemed quite a few good contracts on there and as I live on Anglesey I think it would be just as easy for me to get to Dublin as to Manchester or London etc.

    Do you think Irish companies would employ someone on a contract from over here?

    I have 15 years experience and have the following skills.

    • Excellent web development skills utilising full OOP methodology with Asp.Net, C#, VB.Net, MVC 3 & 4, AJAX, Classic ASP, JavaScript, JQuery, VB Script, JSon, XML, CSS, HTML, HTML5, 3rd party controls (Obout) and Windows Services.
    • TDD utilising NUnit, MsTest.
    • Dependency Injection with Ninject and Structure Map.
    • Database Administration and Development using SQL Server 7/2000/2005/2008 including T-Sql, Triggers and Stored Procedures
    • SharePoint 2007, MOSS 2007.

    yup :) Should not be a problem i'd think. If you can identify some roles that interest you why not apply and see? You'll need to figure out the implications/benefits of working as a contractor in Ireland but a good accountant can help you there.

    Wonder if there could be tax benefits! :-)

    Probably not. Tax is higher in Ireland than in the UK, you can't use dividends to achieve efficiency. Sterling is still weak however so rates can be good here.
