Does anyone have any experience in this job?whats the pay, conditions etc like. Also where would be the best place to look for this kind of work...courier…

Also where would be the best place to look for this kind of work...courier companies presumably but any particular ones? Seriously, i haven't a clue!

Yes they do and 'deadly' is a good choice of word - cycling on pedestrianised streets, cycling the wrong way on one way streets, cycling on footpaths forcing pedestrians to take evasive action, proceeding through red lights etc.

The couriers all meet at the corner of St. Stephen's Green (the bit near Baggot Street) and also outside the Bank of Ireland HQ on Baggot Street.

Just walk up to one and ask some questions?
